We went out on Saturday to catch a few Lake Fork Bream! Here is the problem about Fork and the big Bass chasing and grabbing them before you can get them in the boat! I know we saw some 10+ bass looking for an easy meal! It was a great day until it was time to clean them! It has been a long time coming!!!

Wow, huge haul! Im thinking next time I go to fork I'll bring the fly rod to catch some gills and then hook them on my conventional and go for the 10+
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Oh my Lord, I've never seen so many Bluegills! Interesting about the big bass.

That definately helps the bass population removing all those gills. Yes, the cleaning is work, but the reward is greater!
Just one more cast!

Super HAUL! Good job. Side Note: I got to make it up there and fish that lake at least once! Fork is one of the best fisheries in the United States.

Makes me wonder how the new Live Target bluegill lure would work out there.
