Born and raised in East Texas near Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn. Grew up fishing for Crappie, catfish, and Bass on both lakes. Graduated High School at Hemphill High. Attended SFA university, joined the Navy and completed a 4 year enlistment. Married Father of 2 daughters and currently works offshore as an Electronics Technician.
The Classic is not going anywhere.
BPT is a nice trendy format but their marketing team is putting their foot in their mouth a lot right now. First the commercial dogging on the traditional 5 fish format making it seem like the anglers are doing every thing but stomping on the fish. Then the video where they showed the career earnings of their anglers versus the Bass and FLW anglers.
Rayburn has been tough for me lately but my last trip out there landed me a tagged bass from 2018. I didnt even realize that you could get something from last years tags and ended up with $500 cash, a pair of Costas and a new Falcon fishing rod. Not too shabby for a $100 entry fee to fish on two lakes!
Sounds like things are heating up nicely on Toledo, with 59 over 10 caught so far this year.
I am in the process of starting up my own business because offshore work is not looking good. I can not go into the details on this forum so find me on Facebook.

The winner is a member of this forum. Congrats man, thats a nice stringer.
What catt is hinting at is that this is a 180,000+ acre lake with 1200 miles of shore line. There are many good spawning flats. No many people are going to give away their best spawning areas on a public forum. Its fairly easy to find spawners if you are looking in the correct area of the lake during the right part of the spawn.
Well guys with 81 fish going over 10 in the last year, Toledo has been ranked the #1 fishery by Bassmaster.
We also have #5 on the list within easy driving distance.
