Exploring Turkey Kearn Lake - Late May and Early June 2024

Turkey Kearn lake is a MDC impoundment located in Johnson County, MO. It is a little over 30 miles from home so I'm interested in exploring its post-drought potential.
This video captures two visits to the lake; one in late May and another a few weeks later in early June.
Every normal fresh water species for this part of the state were found in these two visits: Bass, Bluegill, Redear Sunfish (shell crackers), Crappie and a channel catfish.
Conclusions: Further exploration is in order, especially to pattern the crappie. There is a great deal of standing and submerged trees in deep water that may hold good crappie at the right time of the year.
A couple of the Redear Sunfish that got off were quite a bit stronger and larger than the ones brought to hand so that could mean this is one of the better Redear impoundments in my area.
Rudie was consulted for his opinion on keeping panfish and, as the Sportsman that he is, advised me to put them back. He deserves a medal from the MDC!
Sparky only receives one besmirk that is hardly noticeable hahaha.
Enjoy the show
