Lake Fork is full of big bass&#8230;no secret there..   35 of the biggest bass caught in Texas come from Fork and the lake record is over 18lbs.  Insane!!  The top 35 anglers knew any cast could land a record fish, however, many of the competitors struggled to find even one fish that measured.  A select few were able to scratch up a limit which went a long way that day earning them a nice paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>I managed to land one nice keeper of 21&#8243; and missed a few more that would have measured.  Most of my fish caught that day were in the range of 10-12&#8243;  Not going to win any tournaments there&#8230;ha!<\/p>\n<p>The last KATS event will be held on Town Lake (Lady Bird) in Austin Texas.  It&#8217;s a lake I&#8217;ve only fished once so we&#8217;ll see if I can pull something out of my hat.<\/p>\n<p>Techniques used on Fork:<br \/>\nTexas Rig<br \/>\nWatermelon Red Gambler<br \/>\nCranking<br \/>\nH2O Express Medium Diver Squarebill<\/p>\n<p>Rods<br \/>\nDuckett Ghost 7&#8217;6&#8243; Heavy Crankin Stick<br \/>\nKistler 7&#8217;2 worm\/jig Argon Series<br \/>\nKistler 7&#8217;2 worm\/jig Magnesium 2<\/p>\n<p>Reels<br \/>\nDaiwa 100HSA Laguna<\/p>\n<p>Line<br \/>\nSeagar 12lb Fluorocarbon<br \/>\nSeagar 15lb  Fluorocarbon<\/p>\n<p>Keep God in your heart and a rod in your hand!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for subscribing!
