that's sounds insane Jarrett, snag proof is still the frog I throw. Bobby Barrack now lives in east texas instead of the cali delta now.

Toledo Bend Early 70's Acres of bass schooling busting shad in the boat roads. For as far as you could see. Acres I tell you! All you needed was a chugger

#1: Late 80's...Lake Fork...Big Mustang...AC Plugs in the late fall/early winter with 4 - 14 pound bass busting giant gizzard shad completely out of the water. Catching my first worm fish on Fork. Wasp nests as big as basketballs. 100 fish days. Trees and grass everywhere!
#2: Believe it or not, Cedar Creek used to be covered up with hydrilla. Caney creek was where I caught my first bass over 7 pounds... and on a jig fishing the hydrilla line.
#3: Monticello in the winter. Thomas at the gate always wanting to make the $5.00 bet we wouldn't catch an over. (He won quite a few until I figured the lake out some). Weather so cold your steering cables would freeze and having to dip your rod in the warm water to thaw the line out of the rod guides. Those Monty fished pulled as hard as any bass I've ever seen!!
#4: Commedero. More 3-5 pound fish in one day than you could count. No giants on our trip, but got to go with Bob Ridgeway from SW parts and service and a great group of guys. That was very special. All of these except #4 since I've only been to Como once and it was last Feb. Lots of fish but a lack of 3-5 pounders made it a little monotonous. Every time I think of Fork from the 80's & early 90's I get a tear in my eye. #heartbroken
