Terry Hawkins and I fish the Bass Champs first tournament in the north division at Lake Fork. Brutal conditions where over 640 fisherman could only bring 164 fish across the scales, you read that right, that’s basically one fish per 4 fisherman, ONE fish, wins it, and it 1 fish at 2.74 lbs to make a check….not a lot of fun.

Missory does love company. I don't know why I am happy sometimes seeing better fishermen than I not catching fish. I guess it's telling me it's not just me and maybe I'm doing things right but just not catching fish. I catch them sometimes lol.
Thanks for sharing. 350 plus boats, wow. And add in a slot. You must be a glutton for punishment. I love your boat buying videos. I want to ask why you chose Sam Rayburn to live by? You went to Arkansas. You(I think I read/heard) used to live around Kilgore. Why Rayburn? Maybe after you finish your boat vids . You can do a lake comparison? What is the best lake to live next to. Year around in Texas and why? Anyways, I am interested why you chose Rayburn. Good Luck at Belton.
Please clarify. I went on to water land wedsite. Couldn’t find anything about prescription lensing: nor about local retailer sizing or fitment for personal comfort.
I current use a local optical retailer that has me outfitted in Maui Jim’s. Love them, but these based on your comments are 1/2 what I currently pay for quality optics.
Ken, have you purchased your new boat yet?
You might not did as good as you want😞but at least you had fun😁🤓Let's get ready for the next one😀
Looked like that was in front of our RV Park. Think I saw you fishing. I was fishing off the dock.
Hey Ken, I was wanting to know what boat lane mapping chip you use on lake fork?
I fished that bank at the 2 minute mark
I did the dumbest thing you could imagine in that tournament . I turned loose 4 lbs at the ramp and it took 2.74 to get paid. 🤦♂️
I feel your pain buddy. I fished a tournament there last year and had throw a 4lb and a 6lb back.
Is it true someone tried to weigh in a limit of slot fish?
I tune in for the truth. If you don't catch them that's okay. It's fishing
Great update on veteran.
Good stuff. Hate to say it but that is fishing. Hard to find the right fish without a bunch of practice this time of year after record setting cold front
Agree… Fork was super tough… we tied your team … my partner caught a slot 6 pounder on a jerk bait…. tough throwing such a fatty back but it is Fork. What is your setup on the A Rig?
Best you wish you had gone to Florida with Dickie. He looked like he was having fun on Okeechobee.
Super tough conditions after the major cold snap that occurred.
Great shoutout to the Military guys Ken! 👏👏👏. Belton will be very crowded this weekend with Bass Champs and THSBA.
