I got to go back to my home state of Texas for about 8 days and really crushed some fish there!  I fished some ponds around Dallas, out at

my uncle's ranch, Lake Texoma and Lake Fork.  We hired Jason Hoffman on Lake Fork for a father son fishing trip while I was there.  He is a great guy and I would highly recommend him...check out his website www.lakefork.us

Here are a few highlight pictures from Lake Fork:

My first chunk of the morning!

Another Fork chunk

Photo of my big fish of the day, 6 lbs 8 oz and my big brother and Dad.

I guess I'm looking at that tail

Took a while to pull this one out of the tree...you can see our Guide Jason balling up about 4 feet of Braid that we cut out of the fish's mouth.

We caught some real nice fish at my uncle's ranch too:

6 lbs 1 oz at night on the black live sammy!

Dad's 5 lb 15 oz

3 lbs 2 oz  Gotta love it when you can "spook" em in the middle of July in the middle of the day!  

Here is another 3 pounder.  By the way, I've got this kistler rod in the photo for sale in the flea market section.  

Texoma Striper trip:

It was quite a trip!  Can't wait to get back there in December!

WOW!!! Great fish and great pic's!

Great pictures, and even better fish!

great trip!  Congrats on a successful TX adventure!  Great Bass state!

Happy Releasing!

Thats a great looking rod .  I hope Jason didn't give you to much trouble about it not being a G-Loomis.  If i'm not mistaken I'm the first one to have had one on his boat.  Back in March though all we fished was crankbaits so I didn't get to use it.  He couldn't say much though since I was the first one to have a revo on his boat, and he ended up switching over.

Jason is an unbelievalbe guy. I hope ya'll had a great time.

Gotta love the carrot stix!  

Ya every single reel in his boat was either a Revo STX or SX.  My kind of guy!  I bet you two killed them in March.  I'll be back in Texas in December and am hoping to fish with him again.  

Texas rules !

Congrats on some great fishing trips with the family.  8-)

Great fish. I hear nothing but good things about Texas hunting and fishing.

Todd, you guys were slammin'em. Great job and glad you were getting to share the trip with your family. That's what's great about fishing, "Fun for all".
