Lake Fork

[TnRiver46]

This one is always fun! Breaking out the boat scales for some catch weigh release. I have a bold prediction: someone will hit a stump 

[Texas Flood]

This is a bucket list lake for me, so Im pretty pumped for this event.

[TnRiver46]

Zaldain got a 5-5 and said that’s a little one….

[DaubsNU1]

Made the trek down to Fork back in the mid 1990's, with some buddies who worked for Cabela's here in Nebraska. Great fun!

 

And yes, hit a stump on the first day...buddy about lost his mind. We managed to stay "stump-free" for the remainder of the trip. Good times!

An 8, 2 5s, and 2 6s already in.  Gonna be a fun tournament lol

 

Edit - 1 minute later: Make that 4 6s🤣

[TnRiver46]

Good gracious zaldain wasn’t kidding

Yeah he’s boat flipping everything under 7 pounds.

[hokiehunter373]

He said he caught a limit of 8s yesterday

[herder]

Put it on and right off the bat they had a split screen of Kyoya and John Cox, talk about yin and yang

Trey with 28 already.  That kid flat out knows how to fish

[AlabamaSpothunter]

There is nothing more the sport needs than a Jon Cox win.   If you love Bass fishing, Jon Cox should be number one in your heart imho.   

 

ETA:  They seem to be bed fishing in 55d waters.  

 

ETA2:  Lol at Fujita out there in the great wide open 

[Tennessee Boy]

I would like to point out that Trey McKinney is the only angler in the tournament whose weight is higher than his age.  28 lbs - 19 years old.  There should be a belt for that. 😃

[hokiehunter373]

Gore: 3 fish for 26 pounds 🤣🤣🤣

[hokiehunter373]

Milliken with a 7-14 and a 7-0 within 5 mins of each other.  Need every tourney to be at Fork.  This is fun

[AlabamaSpothunter]

BASS can't help but shoot themselves in the foot.....how in the world do you not put a camera in the boat with the most popular angler on your tour.

I think they have some sort of agreement with the anglers that all will get at least some time on live during the season - and Day 1 is really the only day where they can pick anyone....So they probably try to keep day 1 a mix of favorites and some sort of round robin situation with other anglers to get everyone airtime throughout the season.  

 

Milliken was on live a good bit at the first tournament already and they were probably banking on him earning a live camera at some point before the Fork event is over.

I think both feet are in good shape 

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Contrary to what BASS's cams are showing, this lake is putting on an absolute show this morning.     

 

34lb bag, two DDs, many other mega bags, sadly none on camera.  

[TnRiver46]

There are only ten cameras 

[DinkDonkey30]

4hrs left with a lot of big names having a tough go. Ike, Clunn, Joey C, Canterbury, Martin,Swindel, Feider outside top 50 

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Top 10 on Bass Trakk is getting stupid......all mega bags, all on pace for a century belt

 

My guess is those folks aren't fishing shallow like all the ones on camera.  

[TnRiver46]

Taku with the dirty 30!!
