New Record for a 3 Day Bass Tournament - Lake Fork, Texas

[ratsotail]

I have never been an big advocate or interested in tournament fishing, but one has to tip their hat to a tourney guy who has figured out a pattern where the planets and stars have aligned to catch the biggest three-day haul ever! I'm not against tourney fishing...it just takes the fun out of it for me. Check out the link below on what turned out to be a 7.33 AVERAGE PER FISH. It was most interesting to me because my father-in-law lives on this lake and I always have fun fishing with him....but have never dreamed of a day, two, or three like this! Enjoy!

Shawn,

Excellent question and comment ! I mostly fish Crappie with my father-in-law on this lake (and as with everything in Texas, the Crappie are huge in this lake too), but do get a chance to fish for bass on occassion. I always seem to hit it where the day before was outstanding and the day I fish is so-so...my luck. What is spooky about fishing this lake is all the standing timber and the treetops just below the surface. During periods of water fluctuation, which is constant, it is quite a challenge to not lose your lower unit or worse. That is one lake where my PFD is on when under power!
