- In this video, we travel out to the brand new Bois D'Arc Lake in Northeast Texas to fish the first tournament that has ever been held on the lake (to our knowledge)! After a slow start to the morning with several bites but no landed fish, we finally unlocked a pattern or two that produced quality bites for us throughout the last half of the tournament, and were able to put together a solid limit of Bois D'Arc keepers (fish 16 inches or smaller) as well as catch some big ones along the way! Watch the entire video to see how we caught our fish, and how we ended up placing in the tournament standings! Thank you all for the support, we'll see you on the next one!!!

Me and my buddy really wished we could have gone tk that tournament, it’s a Sunday and I work that day but the day before we went out and fished. We caught 3-4 fish at like 2.2 pounds each at like 15 inches. I feel like we could have been up there with the 1-4th place if we kept catching those
I’m sure there will be another opportunity to go out there in a tournament setting on a Saturday sometime soon! You guys were definitely on the right caliber of fish to do well! Thanks for watching!
Went a couple weeks back and caught 25 ish on that same spot you started at is the grass still there around there
Yessir, there is quite a bit of gator grass still around that area! It’s a cool little spot! It’s cool that you caught them there too!
Isn’t the mimimum length 14 for the state? That third one looked much smaller than that
On Bois D’Arc it has special regulations. You can only keep bass 16 inches or smaller. Anything over 16 inches must go back in the water. Similar to the slot on lake fork but with no overs.
@@metroplexbassaddictsso the lake regulations exceed state regulations?
Yes, the lake regulations are put in by the Texas parks and wildlife department who manages the fishery. They also set the state regulations, so they have the authority to make changes based on the condition of the lake. Lake Fork, Lake Athens, and Lake Grapevine are other lakes in Texas that have special regulations. There was also a period of time after a fish kill where some of the brazos river lakes (possum kingdom, lake Whitney, and lake Granbury) had their minimum length moved up from 14 to 16 inches to allow the population of bass in the fishery to recover. Because Bois D’Arc is a new lake, they want to protect big bass in the lake from being harvested to ensure that the population of the lake grows well and that the gene pool gets stronger 👍
@@metroplexbassaddictsoh okay that makes sense thank you. I subscribed 👍🏻
Thank you for subscribing and for watching the video, we really appreciate it!
Why not keep the big largey tho??
Bois D’Arc has a 16 inch maximum length limit on bass, you can only keep fish 16 inches in length or smaller! We had to throw back the 4, the 3.5 and several other 2.5-3 pounders because of that!
@@metroplexbassaddicts oh u gotchu
@@metroplexbassaddicts i*
Why even bother doing a tournament when you only keep midgets? You guys should do like the kayak tournaments and do a total length with pics
It’s a fun challenge! They put the tournament on, we heard about it, and decided to fish it!
