Livesay going barefoot

Lee Livesay

It’s getting serious when Lee Livesay removes his flip-flops. He’s barefoot now and the evidence is on the BassTrakk scoreboard. He just added a largemouth weighing 5 pounds, 1 ounce to his score, while making this comment as the horns blew from his large on-water gallery.

“They are schooling out there,” he said on the FS1 broadcast. “There’s a nine-pounder!”

As a longtime guide on Lake Fork, Livesay has more experience here than his peers. Will it matter? Only time will tell.

The wind is about to be a key player in the game. Quentin Cappo’s best timeframe was in the afternoon when the wind was at its strongest. Cappo also reasoned the water temperature increases by a few degrees, thereby stimulating more bass activity. The same theory applied to Brandon Card, who is finally beginning to catch fish from The Hammer Hole.
