Since you’re from KY, I’m not sure if you are familiar with the slot limit on Fork. The reason for the question. Not many overs are caught during tournaments. A two man team can bring two to weigh in (very rare). Also, I believe each team member would have to catch one for two to be brought in. So the elites could only bring their biggest over to weigh in if they caught two or more overs.

“Bass 16 inches and less or 24 inches or greater in length may be retained. Only one largemouth bass 24 inches or greater may be retained each day.”

How many Bass Pro Shops & Strike King SALs?

Dozens.

Thanks. Sounds like here. Our smallmouth are much leaner and longer than northern smallmouth. Generally a 24” largemouth is 5.5-7lbs here. Unfortunately we don’t get many nines.

I’m 30 minutes from Dale Hollow that has a 16”-21” slot limit. Even in team tournaments only two smallmouth can be kept. One below 16” and one above 21”.

That’s because you have Northern strain largemouth there and Fork is stocked with Florida strain largemouth. Different genetics.

Agreed but they seem reasonably close without the bigs. Smallmouth is completely different from northern strain.

I think the over that milliken brought in was 7 lb something oz

Is Lake Fork the best lake in country? The results say yes.

I was kind of disappointed, I was expecting Lee Livesay to come in hot in the top 5 or at least top 10. He must have had a really bad day coming in 95th. Frank Talley is in 25th and with a good day tomorrow; move way up the leaderboard. Robert Gee had a really good run @ Toledo Bend but is dead last. The good part about being on this lake is most of the guys back in the field can move way up tomorrow.
Note to self: Don't show up on Thursday morning they have nothing set up. I'll probably go back on Sunday for the final weigh in.
I absolutely love the new SRA boat ramps and marina.

Do yall think it will really get better tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday? If so, we’re talking 40-45 pound bags.

John Cox with 19 lbs? Doesn’t even register . Guarantee he is still smiling though.

When I rolled up into the SRA parking lot yesterday they had a boat in the back of it under an awning working on it in the transom area, it was probably about 10:00 am. Just wonder if it was one of the guys that normally does real good on Fork?

No.

I wonder who Miliken pissed off at BASS? Number 1 in AOY to start the day. Top 10 after day 1 and obviously someone people want to watch and no camera.
