If the fishing is as good as Lewisville, then why a slot? The vast majority of the anglers catch and release anyway. Lewisville's been great for years even with all the pressure it gets, and that's with a 14 inch mininum... so there isn't any reason to keep Roberts on a slot.

In my opinion tne fishing at Ray Roberts is not as good as Lewisville , It's way way better. I looked at the last three Bass Champs results on the lake. Briefly summarized, they are:

4/19/08 1st was 5 fish for a little over 17. 15th place was five for a little over 13#. Four fish were weighed fro big fish. One 9#, two 5#+. and one 4#.

4/14/07 1st was five for 17.9#. 15th place was 3 for 7.36#. Three biggest fish were 6.2#,5.28, and 4.6.

4/18/06 1st was five for 16.4. 15th was five for 11.7. not much worth mentioning for big fish.

What type of weights do you expect would come out of Roberts with the slot removed?? Why are some guys saying there would be 40# sacks? Because Ray roberts is a very good lake compared to the surrounding lakes. It's worth preserving in it's present form or some slight modification, not the 14" minimum. Don't people appreciate just plain good fisheries anymore?

p.s. sorry for hijacking the thread i just think this same arguement applies to fork.
