After 9 LONG years of fishing Lake Fork, and countless hours, effort, and money (for a weekend warrior), and numerous guides hired- Mark Pack, James Caldemeyer, and Lance Vick to name few (simply to learn, techniques, baits, graph reading, and learning the lake because @ 65 years old, I just don't have time enough left in my life to do it all on my own) I FINALLY caught an "Over" outta this dang lake, LOL. She came Saturday, at about 11:00 AM, out of about 2.5' of water on a Revenge chartreuse & white 3/8 oz. spinnerbait. 24-3/8" long, 9.54 lbs. Been a LONG time comin'  PS - I did NOT break her jaw holding her like this, and I put her back right where she came from.
