Cam has a place you can catch guaranteed double-digit, only $5k. Show up when the street lights come on and say the password. It is a tight spot and is considered sight fishing, so make sure hooked in mouth!

I did a little research and I guess since the SAL program isn't funded with "public monies" they can do with them what they want.
Good Luck Not really. These fish are offspring of Florida strain genetic bass paid for by Texas state funds which are either funded by tax payer dollars or fishing license revenue or both. Remember, Florida stain bass are not indigenous to Texas waters. The donated SAL or her offspring does not merely become property of the SAL program simply because it was donated. There was a very similar legal battle in the state of Oklahoma over horses. The Oklahoma State University Veterinary Medicine Equine ranch was taking privately donated horses, breeding them, then selling the offspring for profit which went back to the Vet Med ranch/ school. Courts basically said you can't do that since they are a state funded institution. Not trying to start a big debate, but this is BAD business for the SAL program. Sorry. I thought the SAL program has been sponsored and privately funded since it's inception? I am not of the opinion it's "bad" to do what they are doing, but I do not see the good in it either. Hopefully we are not using tax dollars to boost private waters most of us will never have access to fish. Yes, I believe the SAL program is funded by sponsorship dollars. However, the Florida strain fish they are using for breeding stock were not. But the donated fish was property of the person who caught it, who then donated it to the hatchery, the hatchery is selling fry to others, the money they make probably enables them to keep hatchery going.

Tax money keeps the hatchery going and pays their salaries

There are a lot worse places tax money could be and is wasted! If this means the world record comes from Texas and not California, I am all for it!!!!! I appreciate Gary taking the time to tell us about this project, I find it to be an interesting read and wish him the best!
See you on the lake and have a great day!

As the Doug stated earlier, the SAL program is funded by private donations!

I'm just not sure a high fenced world record will mean much to anybody else.

Deep pockets will get you anything.... Hopefully a world record in Texas!! +1 Get the record first then we can complain about who paid for it. +1,000,000 Since the beginning of time man has been trying to grow a world record bass in captive waters. Hasn't happened yet. Every time someone with a private lake catches a 13-14# fish they start talking about World Record potential. Even though a 14# bass is a GIANT, it is still a LONG ways from a world record. That being said, more power to Dr. Scwartz and his efforts. I would love to see a record class bass come from Texas waters, don't care if its public or private.

La Perla Ranch....What a crock of [censored]. In search of a world record, so lets build a fence, build a lake, feed them 24 hours a day with no pressure, use fry to develop a super bass and then call it a world record and by the way we can get some washed up ball players to help market it....
This totally defeats the purpose of world records....There should be 10 asterisks next to anything that comes out of that lake.
Good thing the SAL program doing the opposite of it's intentions, instead of creating world records, they are creating a bunch of 13 lbs fish.....

Just curious, does the IGFA have seperate records for public and private waters like TPWD does or does any gamefish count?
