HUM! Are there fewer trophy's in public waters? I am not sure. I know the past couple of years TBend has been the number one bass lake and produced a lot of them over 10 lbs. A friend is a guide there and he said a lot of pressure has made it a tougher lake to fish this year. Rayburn is now number one and was in the top 5 when TB was ranked number one. Do I think there are a lot of trophy's out there? yep, I just think they have a lot of pressure. And I think L. Fork continues to produce the most trophy lmb caught per year. And I don't know a lake with more fishing pressure.
