Toyota Texas Bass Classic announces final field for 2015 - Your Houston News
“As a native Texan, it was a dream come true to win my third TTBC title last year, and I cannot wait to return to the incredible Lake Fork, with the best anglers in the world, to defend my title in May. “We shattered records last year and with yet another star-studded field, we could be looking at rewriting those records this Memorial Day on Lake Fork. TTBC in 2014 was one for the record books, helping to show the world how amazing a fishery Lake Fork truly is. The previous record for a three-day, tour-level event was 83 pounds, 5 ounces (15 fish). “We were proud to see the record-setting fish catches at the 2014 event,” said TPWD’s Dave Terre. “Those catches were a direct result of our progressive fisheries management practices, including special fishing regulations, fish stocking, and fish-habitat improvements with the Sabine River Authority. This tournament, including its unique catch-weigh-immediate release format, gives us the opportunity to show the world just how good Lake Fork really is. We are thankful for the opportunity to do this again in 2015 and also for all the benefits... Over the last eight years, the TTBC has donated more than $2 million to TPWD, an effort that will continue in 2015. Along with the coveted title of TTBC Champion, the anglers will be battling it out for two additional awards:. Source: www.yourhoustonnews.com
