I always thought North Texas had the best fishermen in the state. I lived up there for seven years after college, where I bought my first bass boat (still my primary boat), and began to fish lakes and tournaments. There are so many lakes up there and most of them have the ingredients that make a great bass habitat.
Everywhere you look is a very nice boat and a new truck to pull it with. Not to mention the quality of electronics and the fishing poles strapped to the deck. So it was clear to me that North Texas was loaded with great fishermen. It was home of the Best Fishermen in the State!
I kept fishing, listened to their continuous excuses at the boat ramps, and salivated over their possessions some more. I soon realized that I was not amongst the ‘best’ fishermen; instead it was just the ‘wealthiest’ fishermen.
So I moved back home to south central Texas to join the crowd I belonged in, the crowd that is referred to as the ‘Best Fishermen in the State’. Good to be home!
Maybe, just maybe, those folks with nice boats, trucks and rods have the money to spend, like nice things, and really don't care if it makes them better or not. My guess is they really don't care what anyone else thinks of them, which is how it should be. There's not many folks that don't have a wish list.
That said, I'd agree with West Texas, but the population is spread so thin I don't know if you could say concentration. Just based on pure numbers, North Texas has more fisherman, so you'd have to think they have the biggest conentration as well.
