Lake Fork is the most famous trophy largemouth lake in Texas — it has produced more Toyota ShareLunker entries (13-pound-plus bass) than any other water in the state, thanks to timber-filled creek arms and a strict slot limit that protects big fish. Spring spawning season draws anglers from all over the country.
