Half the field had a lot bites as soon as the boats launched until 9:30 and the bite died and it picked back up again at 11:30. Elk river and some guys down in the lower end of the lake and the basstrack unofficial leaders started picking the bite back up untill the end of the day.

This lake is known for the worse the weather is the better the fish bite. It could not be colder post-front, it’s 20 degrees and the water is about 40 degrees.

Ray Scott gave birth to the Bassmaster
Bob Cobb Tulsa Tribune, first official writer for Bassmaster and got the Bassmaster Magazine off the ground being the first professional editor. Enthusiasm was poor in Oklahoma for the first tournament, short on fans and shirt on anglers, Bob passed the message on in his column and Don Butler, first lifetime member, was the first one to answer. Don formed the Tulsa Bass Club and was the President of the Federation Nation. By 1968 he started the Bass Anglers Sportsmen Society and donated $10,000 to start a mail order campaign and the rest is history.
Ray Scott patented the first boat aerating system and began the catch-and-release system of fishing with the, “Don’t Kill Your Catch Campaign.”
