Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Lake Texoma, stripers are the main target on this trip. These hard-fighting fish can grow up to 30 pounds or more, giving you the fight of a lifetime when you hook into a big one. They're most active in the cooler months, from fall through spring, but Troy knows how to find them year-round. Stripers are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, so hang on tight when you've got one on the line!

Blue Catfish: While you're primarily after stripers, don't be surprised if you hook into a monster blue cat. Lake Texoma is home to some absolute giants, with fish over 50 pounds not uncommon. These bottom-dwellers put up a serious fight and are a blast to catch. They're active year-round but tend to move to deeper water in the summer months. Troy's got the inside scoop on where these whisker-faced fish like to hang out.

White Bass: Also known as sand bass, these smaller cousins of the striper are a ton of fun to catch, especially when they're schooling up. They typically run in the 1-3 pound range but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. When you find a school, it's not uncommon to catch one on every cast. White bass are most active in the spring during their spawning run, but you can catch them throughout the year. They're great eating too, so be sure to keep a few for the dinner table!
