I went down to Texas for 9 days to fish Lake Fork, 'Big Bass Capital' as they call it in Texas. I did nothing but fish and maybe some drinking too...It was good time had by all. We were about a week early as the big females were still hanging back but the males were extremely aggressive guarding the beds. I even had one attack my flipper but couldn't get him to bite my brush hog, go figure.
Water temp was in the high 50's some 60's in the back of the bays. At night we would go fishing for crappie and catch yellow bass, white bass, and catfish too. The biggest cat going 15.5 lbs and a white bass that was 2.3 lbs.
The largemouth averaged about 3.5 lbs with my biggest only being 7.1 lbs. The highlight of my trip was buying my new boat that I didn't even take to Fork, way too many stumps for me! I could post a thousand pics but here are a few.
