The reason we all have the Fork bug! 46# Bag

Today was one of those days for the Lake Fork Premier Guide Service record books! 29 bass total and best 5 go 46 pounds!

I had the pleasure of fishing with Steve Story owner of Shoot-Em Up archery in Paris, Tx and one of his closest friends, Sam Earnest. Sam caught a 9+ over last month with us.

We after the day graphing a deep point with a roadbed close buy but I didn't see much I got to excited about so we ran to my next prospective spot and the graph instanly out up with tons of bait and fish mixed in. I knew we would catch a few with the possibility of a big girl mixed in if we where on outlet A game

I start them off throwing Carolina rigs as I expected for it to be the best bait for a big bite. So I picked up a 6xd and begin fan casting over the structure. Three or four cast in and I catch a big slot, then Sam smacks a big slot. Steve follows up two cast later with the first 9 of the day! We ended up fishing there for a few hours boating 16-18 off of it with 5 between 6.5-9 pounds.

We went out and continued graphing other deep spots with little luck other than one 6.5 of the spot I graphed first thing that morning. We headed in for a late breakfast at 10:30 at Oak Ridge.

Headed north and checked a dozen deep holes with little luck finding bass or bait. Decided to stop in one of my most favorite spots from years ago and instantly caught 2 5s and then the magic happened. Steve boats his 10.5 and 20 minutes late I catch a 9.75! Sam boats two over 5 and a 6 during the feeding frenzy.

That makes our best 5 a 10.5, 9.75, 9.00, 8.50 & 8.50 = 46 pounds!

Steve had three big ones, Sam had one and I had one in this epic bag! I wished Sam would have stuck the 9.75 but they told me if a big one bites my bait I better catch her so I did!

WOW!!! What a day!! Congrats to you and your customers, I know that has to feel awesome with all the work you put in!!

Geez, what a day!!! Congrats!!!

Congrats to you Cody and your Clients

Man it feels great to have a day like today. I hope everyone gets to exsperiance it once in a lifetime. It gets comical after a while, oh it's just a dang 5 or 6, not even a picture taker, lol

I have been lucky enough to travel all over fishing tournaments and have had some awesome days at Falcon, Okeechobee, Kentucky lake & even Erie but to have the chance to share this with two great guys like Steve and Sam makes it even better!

We cut up all day and fished very slow and relaxed capitalizing one all but 1 or two bites.

My tip for Fork right now is to GRAPH, GRAPH, GRAPH and fish SLOW, SLOW, SLOW

Great job and nothing blurred out...

Great job! I hope you saved some for the Skeeter Owners tournament ... lol.

+1 on the blurring.

Way to go Cody!

What a day! Congrats to you and your clients.

Cody WOW just WOW !

Great job guys!

Great job on putting those guys on some toads......

Great job.

Congratulations on a heck of a day! Am I reading this right, that only 1 of those fish was an over? Not trying to be critical, just trying to illustrate how special it is when you catch one.

That is an awesome day. Hope I get the chance to have a day like that once

That's incredible. I hope that lake never changes! I'm trying to plan a trip down there soon

You are correct!

Awesome day! Congrats!

Fork is a very humbling place for me, it's either on or off, when it's on it's a blast, when it's off it's the dead sea...I never wake up and say "i'm going to go to Fork tomorrow"...and then I see post like this - this is the "dangling carrot"...thanks a lot LOL !!! Great job putting your customers on 'em !!!

To have a day like that AND have the proof is quite impressive. Congratulations. One day when the skeptics appear on here this can get reposted!

Excellent day on the water yesterday with Cody and Sam there was never a dull moment. Plus all of the Big fish. A trip of a lifetime! !

We don't know what full means Steve! For you to catch em like you did was a once and a lifetime deal and was proud to be part of it

Holly S#@% i want that Bug!! Awesome catch congrats.

Take me please

Ha, Cody's boat has taken up almost the entire page last few days Oak Ridge. I fished by myself tonight 3.5 hours and only caught a drum. I spent 90 minutes my money spot and the rest graphed and ran 8 places. Haven't found a school yet, will look more tomorrow.

Almost got a full sheet worth!

Good luck tomorrow rob!

Great haul!!! Looks like one of my favorite spots. If it is, great swim bait spot too. Always pull some toads when they are there. What a great day you guys had... Congrats
