The weather today was pretty near the same as 2 weeks ago, started out fairly cool mainly because of the heavy cloud cover which hung around to about 9 AM. Then it got hot. Perhaps it would have been better if the full moon was not 3 nights ago. The fish were caught on wacky, c-rigs, drop shots and t-rigs. Winds were slight. Congrats to Herb Powell for catching a real nice 25" bass on a Shaky head.
Hard Core is what we call this tournament, but it follows the Major League Fishing format where every fish you catch over 10" counts. With Lake Fork partitioned into three sections and the section rotates each week throughout the year. Today section 2 was scheduled. LFA Members will qualify for the semi-final in November by catching 6 lb. in one tournament and attending at least 6 tournaments. Or fish 80% of the tournaments.
All the bass are measured, recorded and released on the spot except for pictures taking of which there is a lot because of all the big fish we catch. Not bragging. It's Lake Fork man!
