Livesay’s lament ends with a 9-2

Saturday long-time Lake Fork guide Lee Livesay couldn’t believe he’d fished three days on this lake and hadn’t caught a single bass over 7 pounds.

“It’s almost impossible to fish Lake Fork for three days without catching a 7-pounder,” Livesay said.

Livesay’s lament ended on Day 4 at 7:14 a.m. when he landed what he called a “baby whale.” “It’s not the whale, but it’s the baby whale,” he said.

Lake Fork is exploding in the first half-hour. Chris Zaldain has two weighing 9-15, Taku Ito has three weighing 10-6 and Seth Feider has caught a double on a crankbait. The two fish totaled 6-12.
