TPWD was on their way and Hawk released the fish 15mins before they arrived. He said the fish wasn't doing well and he didn't want to kill her. At least that's what I heard. Good decision !

I’ll be patiently waiting for each of you who scolded me and called for my ban to post your screen name, full name and formal apology... let’s see how long it takes...  That's funny Mark, thank you for sharing the news of that catch. You'll probably have to standby on any real names/apologies as you already know, haha. So many using online forums are extremely brave behind their computer screens. Those same people wouldn't dare share some of the same opinions with others face to face unfortunately. 16+ lbs is an absolute freak of a largemouth bass, this is such great news for Lake Fork! Landing a fish of that size is extremely difficult on the size of rods, line, and hooks that most bass anglers are using. Also when we take into account that Fork is full of flooded timber that makes the odds of landing those fish much smaller. I imagine for every 13+lb fish landed on Fork there are another 5 if not more that break anglers line, rip hooks out of their mouth, or simply straighten out the hooks. Congrats to Hawk, that's a catch of a lifetime!

So. Did he catch a 16 in practice or not? I still have yet to see a pic of the fish and was at Fork all weekend. Never heard a word about it.

I watched some of it live today and they mentioned Roy Hawk catching a 16 in practice. Sure would love to see a pic of it. That is a True Freak of nature.

I would think if you catch a top 50 fish in the state of Texas you would hear about it. The angler would be going nuts about it. And it would be great press for MLF. Plus you’d hear about it around the lake.

MLF on Fork was a ton of fun to watch. Those guys are seriously gritty-they don’t waste a second. They are true pros. However, I would like to see a pic of a13 plus-not to mention a 16. A 16 is SERIOUSLY RARE-check the records.

7300 views plus you add the two other threads that were deleted that prob had an easy 5K a piece. Looks like it worked like a charm!

The MLF announcer just said on live that Roy Hawk caught a 16 pounder in practice....
Why is there no story on this...that's got to be the biggest in Texas the past 5-10 years? Let me finish this thread BULLSH**
