In this video, we fish the first stop of the 2023 Team Trail Outdoors TX tournament season at Lake Fork! After an abysmal showing the week before in the bass champs tournament, we were anxious to get back out onto one of our favorite lakes and get our momentum back on track. Follow along as we prowl the shallows in search of good sized keeper “unders” and an elusive “over” to try and pull out a win!
