Hell with that [censored]. I'm off the water by 12 in the summer. I may be young, but I ain't standing in that heat all day

Amon Carter in August, I think it was around 2012 or so, it was well over 100 and there was not a breath of air, it was terrible, and I blanked.

Easter 2011 on Falcon...103. It was worth it, my son and I had a best 5 of 39.9# and best 10 of 76.6. He broke his PB twice that day with a 9.8 and an 11.0. That being said, I don't think I could handle that kind of heat nowadays!

I can't remember how hot, but I have fished some really days tournament fishing South Texas. Falcon, Choke Canyon and Lake Corpus Christi get hot in the summer. I remember one with a cove full of dead fish and a game warden in waist deep water yelling at everybody to get in the water and help get the dead fish. Can't remember which lake.
Seems like I fished one on Amistad that was smokin hot too.
Thanks, Billy

108 at Fork in July. Fished from noon 'til 6. Still my best day ever on Fork. I think we caught 58 fish. 23 of them over 7 lbs. I had 45# in 30 mins. My buddy had a 10 and 11.5 during my 45#. This was at the pumphouse, when there was no pumphouse and most folks didn't know how to fish it, properly. Like Ken A., many of my best days on Fork for numbers and size have been the blistering heat of the day with no wind, June through early August.
110 at Falcon, several times.

I might add that some of the biggest fish I ever caught at Fork was from Noon til 6 pm in July & Aug. Got one of my PBs at the time, 11.61 at Fork in Little Mustang at 12:30 pm on a jig in Aug right by the bridge when the hydrilla came out to the edge of the creek. That's funny, I caught an 11.65 off that same spot in the late 80's, but I was night fishing. Blk/blue Larew Hog Craw with glass rattles in it.

I was stationed at Luke AFB in Phoenix, AZ for 5 years. I did quite a bit of fishing in the 120's out there at Lake Pleasant. I would leave work at 1600 and drive straight there. I usually wore my swim trunks so I could cool off every once in a while.

Been able to fish every day since week before last. Suprising how many fish are still in shallow water. Yeah, it's 108-112 outside, but water temp in the mornings was still in the low 80s in some spots early last week. Of course there are deeper schools also, and the thermocline is well defined. Fishing has been pretty good in my opinion.

Fished a Media Indi about 13 years ago. I had 5 20 oz. dasanis and I finished the last one on my way to weigh in. Thats 120 ounces of water and I was thirsty going home. It was 106 and no wind. I was boat #141. I got fourth though. Its funny you dont notice how hot it is when your catching fish!
