I am surprised #400 wasn't caught this weekend.   Fork had full parking lots at every ramp.   Caught some good ones this weekend on Sunday.   I looked for Rickeys rental boats on the water, but did not see Zimmy and his bunch down from Chicago on Fork.  I was busy on trying to catch #400.

My partner through a swim bait all day.   No bites, but I threw a 1oz white spinner bait with extra large willow leafs  for a chunk and a Tiki Moto wave lizzard, grn red flake for my other chunks.    Sunday was a beautiful day, sunny and no wind.   Did see some buck bass crusing the shallows, water temp was 48-54 degrees, depending on where you were.

Man I am pumped to see 400!!!

[mike22]

It's gotta be crazy down there now that 400 is worth so much.  Can't wait to see who gets it!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!  I bet there are going to be a lot of supposedly "sick" people on the lake this week.

[cgs2004]

I'd sure be sick right now if I live down there

[sodaksker]

How much is the 400th fish worth?

[KU_Bassmaster.]

I think it's $400 a pond plus some other free stuff.

I know I'm sick already! Sick in my stomach that I'm in MD and not TX!!!!  ;D

[Rattlinrogue]

What a bass!

[abelfisher]

Great Fish, Matt Fly!

[ball_coach_1]

Great fish Matt!!!  Yeah, guessing it is days or hours until #400 is on the board.   Hope a Texas guy catches it, guess it would only be right.

[BD]

If someone catches it, it's worth 5,600$ at 14lb's..i would be sick everyday this week and upcoming too, if i didn't live so far away.

[Tenka]

I'm going to laugh (and cry) if some sets a new state record on #400.  I'm from Texas and i haven't fished there in over 13 years

And a Lifetime fishing license.

Hopefully, I'm sick tomorrow.   85 degrees would be a great day to be sick, sick of indoors, a little whitelie that my boss will asked me, so, where you heading tomorrow?   Fork!   Good luck!.

we were down there all weekend. friday was our first day fishing,it was a pretty decent day,caught a few fish nothing big :-/ water temps in the low 50's

an air temps in upper 50's. we were using a lot of soft baits texas rigged didn't have a lot of luck. then we switched to crankbaits and caught some decent ones bouncing off stumps.we fished primarly in 8 to 25" of water.friday nite storms moved in dumped about 3" of rain, by sat morning it was thundering and lightining and we didn't get out till abot noon. i didn't like the idea of being a human lightining rod fished sat afternoon in the rain and didn't have any luck sunday was a great day but the fishing was slow caught a few . got a great sunburn though

water temps rose to middle 50's by afernoon i was really disappointed that i had to leave without # 400 to my name :'( :' i guess i"ll just have to leave that one for you guys who live down there! we had a great time and hoping to come back again ;D i was simply amazed how many stumps were in that lake !

i know there are some great fish down there, it was just the wrong weekend to come down. zimmy
