Lake Fork 2026 Results are in, started out a nice day and by Lunch the Heat was on. Thanks to everyone that came and fished with us, look forward to seeing everyone next month.

1st Place J.W. Parker w/ 10.49lbs [email protected]
2nd Place Tony Goodman w/ 7.14lbs
3rd Place Tyler Smith w/ 6.40lbs

Half Weight pot was a tie Paul Gibbons over the weight by .295lbs and Riikina Langford .295 under the 5.245lbs. According to SECTION E:
The Payout For Half Weight will payout 1 spot to whoever catches half or closet to half the weight of 1st Place that does not place in the top 3. In the event of a tie. It will go to the closet under the half weight. If both are tied under the half weight. It will be a coin flip. So winner of the half weight pot is Riikina Langford w/ 4.95lbs who I'd also like to mention out fished her hubby in the same boat....

We had 14 ppl come and fish with us. We also had a great time hanging out and cooking Saturday night. Lots of fun socializing with everyone. This is what a true Bass Club is suppose to be like!!!!! To bad we don't have a award for the biggest fish stories we could award to Paul Gibbons lol, just kidding Paul. But we are happy to see you found a new secret bait at the dollar store.
