LFA Tournament – A member’s best 5 bass 10 inches and over count towards total weight scored.
There were 36 members that fished today with a total of 122 Bass caught and released, including
three lunkers over 5 lbs. The warmer weather brought more club members to the water, and
more bass willing to take a hook for a measure and release. As noted in other (previous) postings,
the LFA tournaments are paper tournaments. Each fish caught is measured, recorded and released.
score cards with measurements are brought to weigh-in where the measurements are
correlated to weight using the Texas Parks and Wildlife Length-weight Conversion Table
for Texas Largemouth Bass, available at:
