• 12-Pound Bass Continues Texas Lake's Streak of Giant Catches (wired2fish.com) — A Tahoka-area cotton gin manager turned a cloudy May 1 into a memorable fishing day, hauling a 12‑pound largemouth bass from Lake Alan Henry about an hour away. Bryan Reynolds carefully weighed, documented, and released the giant fish, and plans a replica mount featuring the well‑worn topwater lure that landed his personal‑best catch.
