After getting Tim Hill's story and picture of a monster bass caught from the bank we got this nice note from John Souhrada regarding his trip with Wired2Fish.com fishing buddy and guide Tom Redington on Lake Fork.
Here is his story:
I took a guide trip on Lake Fork in July 2008 with FLW pro and Lake Fork guide Tom Redington. The purpose of the trip was to learn the Lake Fork Tackle flutter spoon technique.
I had contacted Tom Redington months in advance about the trip and that I wanted to fish the big flutter spoon and catch a couple toads on it.
It was tough to wait but the day finally comes. Tom and I head out to catch some summer time bass. The day starts slow and we catch some small fish. Tom suggests we try one more spot before lunch. He says if we are going to catch a big one now is the time. So I throw the big 5” flutter spoon out and the game is on. If you have never thrown this flutter spoon let me tell you it is workout....in particular if you do it all day.
Tom said when you hook into a big one she is coming straight to the top to try and throw the big spoon. With each bass I stuff my 7' foot rod into the water to prevent them from jumping.
We ended up catching 10 nice bass in the 4-7 pound range in short time. We did finally get some lunch around 1:30 but it was well worth the wait. Needless to say I am hooked on the big flutter spoon. Above is a photo of a 7 pounder caught on the big Lake Fork flutter spoon.
Thanks John......sounds like a great day.
