The only way I see the state record coming from a public lake is if Choke or Falcon can manage to have about 8-10 years of full pool. But that�s never gonna happen.

That whole deal was real bad look from parks & wildlife using sal offspring to stock private pond

How bout I buy you a Pabst Blue Ribbon and we can talk about it??

You do know that many of them SAL offspring put in La Perla were given back to TPWD at around 1.5 years weighing 3-4lbs to stock TPWD's Lake X where Gary Klein just caught that 13lber. TPWD knew what they were doing.

I didn�t say they don�t know what they are doing still not a good look that�s just my opinion

I definitely understand, there were lots of people that have your same feelings about it. I didn't like the deal at first, then got to hear about all the benefits it would bring to TPWD.
Basically giving them a southern stocking facility plus getting the numerous fast growing 1-2 year old fish they got for Lake X and other study fisheries.
I now believe it's benefiting all us fishermen.

I'll buy you one

Does Pabst Blue Ribbon contain corn syrup?

Deal!

PM me some details of when you would be available and where to meet and we'll Get-R-Done.

Japan can produce a 22 lb bass but Texas can't, not even when they have private ponds and selective breeding.

From my brief encounters in Japan it snows there, I sure it doesn't get as hot as Texas, and Japan is half the size of Texas.

If TPWD would stock trout in public waters regularly in the month of October, their would be a new state record bass in short order. The bass would feast on them before warm weather ever had a chance to kill them.

I'm no fan of Callie, but's that's what their monster bass are eating.

The pressure of today�s fishing would have to slow considerably also I think. If a record is ever caught I think it will come from a lake under the radar and not from Fork or Falcon.

very observant...

Dr. Schwarz signed his life away on the deal with TPWD. Frankly I�m not sure how a rational person can look at the deal and think anything other than he got screwed. He shoulders all the cost of maintaining the lake and forage and can�t even fish it himself for 15 years. He will be in his 80s before he can make a cast there without asking permission. He�s incurred enormous personal cost so we could all see just what�s possible in Texas.
