Chris I'd ask the angler in question , to my knowledge this is not a factual statement

However the info the TD relied on to render judgement was inaccurate , my partner and I were also able to get that far North. There is no mud bar precluding entry to the Sulphur River and the main river is in fact navigable from the mouth of Red River South to the mouth of the Sulphur. At no point at the level it was saturday would there be less than 2 feet of water under my boat.

I am not calling you or anyone else a liar except the people that told BassChamps it couldn't be done. They are wrong.


***Also, I do not want to get into a p-match or be viewed unfavorably by Jeff W but based on the trailer texts and the follow up text my interpretation was that if you could get to an area from main river it and could manage time to fish that there was no geographic limit to the North until the Texoma Dam. We chose not to fish north because the water we were able to get to dropped too low in the ditch we had to bust through. At that point we decided to stay in 5 and have more "fishing time", we did poorly and probably should have trailered to a remote area and taken advantage of the distance.

I was just repeating what the angler had posted on Facebook when asked why his weight got zeroed. I have no direct knowledge of what went on.

Not sure what Dale is but it was the small creek that runs into the McDade backwater area.

Someone went all the way to Arkansas?

Apparently! Hey it’s legal though

In practice before off limits every boat I saw ran that cut to McDades , beauty water but like so many places were not interested in what I was throwing

If u idle that cut then u will get ran over plan and simple. That pocket should be off limits like they did past the marina cause of private water. I’m still shocked that guy allows people to fish it

So, they said one cannot enter the Sulphur River from the Red River? Looks pretty navigable to me...

is there a public ramp that provides access to the Sulphur River below Wright Patman, its been 30 years since I've been on that river and we accessed it off private property.

Yes right beside 49

sooooo apparently he new he was cheating , why else would you tell them to zero weight . SMDH Should not be allowed you made your decision .

He was legit, but what he was told to do to prove he could do it right then would have ended his fishing time for the day.

He was given no options that would allow him to continue based on complaints about how far north he was. The experts that the TD relied on to verify if it was doable were wrong. I know this because I also made those runs

Super unfortunate deal, but the dude is not a cheater.

Not as many tales as I’d thought there would be.

So did you actually enter the waters in question from the Red on tournament day.
