Starless TFF Guru Registered: 08/06/04 Posts: 20847 Loc: Where the fish are!	Very nice buffalo! 45lbs huh, sweet! It's got that same blimp-shape that a lot of the buffs from Fork and the other lakes in the area have. Man, I haven't fished T-wok in a while. That makes me wanna get back out there. Sure looks low!

fiSherwood TFF Team Angler Registered: 01/02/07 Posts: 4589 Loc: West Houston	Nice catch! Some actually catch them IN THE MOUTH on slabs; they also follow the shad and pick them up as they drift down in the water column after being injured by whites, stripers, and other predators... _________________________ Brian Sherwood Carp Anglers Group Forums USCarpProMagazine

Stripaholic Extreme Angler Registered: 06/27/03 Posts: 1811 Loc: Lake Tawakoni	Greentumater is correct. Matt we released a lake record Buffalo. I'm sure you would have liked to get your name in the record books but you did the right thing to let that beast live. Here is the current lake record...
