I'd say Palestine, but it's been closed for a long time...

I'd start at Cedar Creek and check guide Chuck Rollin's livewell compartments. Should be a few choice slabs floppin' around in em'.....

Trophy fish over 2.75 pounds. I'd target the following lakes...but realize that catching these fish is not a common occurrence at all:
LOP
Palestine
Fork

If you wanna stay close to home, (and since Palestine is closed  ) I've seen some real toads on here come out of Texoma.

Ok these were the lakes I was thinking about. I'll have to look into Navarro mills I've never heard of it. And I know it will take a while to catch a trophy crappie but that just gives me an excuse to fish more
