I well remember the first bass I ever caught!
It was more than 80 years ago � creek fishing for �perch� with worms and cane pole.
Ran out of worms and hooked on a berry blossom!
Been fishing for LMB for most of my life until I got bored and began pursuing other species.
I fished Lake Fork in the early 80�s when the first rise flooded the farm ponds where pure Florida LMB had been stocked and left long enough to get maximum reproduction.
Lake Fork Florida LMB hard to catch � nope � only got hard to catch after being caught and released so many times IMO.
Hundred fish days � until TP&W introduced slot limits.
Got bored with LMB and began fishing for striped bass on Lake Texoma.
I agree with Todd ... �Actually, I was downright bored with my largemouth bass program until I was able to acquire these Camelot Bell brood stock. Now I feel that I have my groove back�.
