SAL #25, 26, 27 from Alan Henry

[Matt Fly]

Sharelunkers 25-27 all came from Lake Allen Henry, AH is a section of the Brazos River that was damned creating 2800 surface acres of deep canyon fishing. AH donated 9 sharelunkers last year, the first time in 20 yrs that Fork was de-throned from the crown during this time of the year. She is currently one up on Fork this year. With last years accomplishment, the debate between Lubbock Tx and the DFW area fishermen commenced. I was raised in West Tx, we didn't have a couple of the fisheries that are out there today in west Tx. For now, the title of "Little Fork of West Tx fits well.

If you noticed, all 3 of these sharelunkers came from out-of-staters.   I would have rather seen the call signs of Hawg Hunter, Dirk-jig-lure, and LBH, better known as "Low Budget Hookers" posted with those fat pigs.     It just goes to show that Texans are not the only ones enjoying good bass fishing in Texas.

i was born and raised in Lubbock Texas and back then (born in 69) there was nothing for fishing.  Buffalo Lake was the only "large" body of water and was/still is a bit nasty.

Some day I'll get back to Lubbock (Happiness is Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror....Mac Davis) and hit this lake.

Ditto, I was born in Odessa, the closest place back then was Oak Creek, since those days, OH Ivey and AH have been formed.

Dang Matt and JB,  You guys lived in the middle of freakin nowhere!!!  I lived in Amarillo for about 3 months too long one year .  Man I now know why all the cowboys came from those areas.  Nothing much to do other than drink, women and rodeo

It was and still is a bit remote.  it was a great place to grow up (speaking as a dad now) with the low crime, great climate.  but the sand storms and constant wind got real old.  not to mention the stock yard smell after a rain, aided by southern winds.

And on top of that Lubbock is dry.  you cant buy (except in restaurants) an ounce of liquor or beer in the entire city.  And it will always be that way.

once i graduated i left.

But im still proud of where im from, especially the Texas part.

interesting point....lubbock city water is piped down all the way from amarillo.

Amarillo.....I drove through Amarillo and stopped for breaksfast with my daughter when I was driving her to Cal. after she graduated from college.  I have no desire to EVER go back through Amarillo.  Talk about hell on earth.

I could go on, but I understand Amarillo is home for some people.
