There are some gills much larger than those in DVL. But those show that the future will be good there..lol
The stripers are the big buzz right now but the gills are the real prize. Fish the steps..

DVL does have some monster gills and redear. I've been broken off on 6lb test. Definitely a great lake to fish for pan fish.
