Walk-in-the-Water Stocked With Prize-Winning Tagged Bass

Lake Walk-in-the-Water has been revealed to contain a tagged bass, one of several Florida lakes to have received a trophy bass bearing a special pink tag. The tag and documentation will earn one lucky fisherman an entry into a state-wide contest sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

Lake George, Newnans Lake, and Lake Talquin also host one of the tagged fish, with two other lakes to be revealed later in the contest, which runs through September 30, 2022.

The rest of the locations of the tagged bass are a mystery, so fishermen are invited to visit TropyCatch.com for new site hints and site reveals each week.
