The first time I ever launched at Fork I had to use a road bed, no ramps had been built.
Same here. I pretty much lived at Val’s Landing through the 90’s. Man was I lucky to be there during that time .

I still miss looking at old Polaroids on the walls of fish. I had a few at Rainswood that I never got back of me. Wish I could find those. Way before the I-phone days! lol.

What was the place with the big worm bar? Seems like it was on the west side of the lake. I remember a ton of pictures in there. It was where I first bought some jawtec terminator worms in red bloodline and caught a 13+ the same weekend night fishing. That was 1993. We stayed at fisherman's cove I think, mark Stevenson guided out of there. Lake was so good we'd come in from fishing and I could go down to the dock and catch 4-5lbers in the middle of the day on blue Mann's jelly worms haha

Here's what started it all. The first night I met my future father-in-law, in 1990, he was wearing a polo shirt with "Ethel" and a bass embroidered on the left shoulder. I soon got one as they were being sold by TPWD. I later drove up to Lake of the Ozarks, where my in-laws had a lake house, stopped at BassPro in Springfield MO, and saw the real Ethel swimming in the tank there. She'd gotten bigger since Mark Stevenson had caught her. Humongous fish!

Slide right, coming in .... Fish On!
