Lake Records #16 and 17.
This weekend we fished Crow Park and had a really good time. The park is one of the nicer ones we’ve been to recently, with plenty of trees near the water and a playground nearby as well.
While we caught plenty of fish (5 carp, a black bullhead, and 3 or 4 redear sunfish) everything we caught was pretty small. Only three of the carp were over 2 lbs, with the largest being only 2.75 lbs. The black bullhead was 8 oz, making it only just barely big enough to qualify for a water body record. Incredibly, I caught the bullhead on a 15mm boilie.
We also saw several gizzard shad floating dead in the water, a few turtles, and many ducks and geese, including two mother ducks with 4 ducklings each.
Notably, the most recent stocking of this lake by the TPWD was blue catfish in 2003. That and the shad we saw, along with how pleasant it was, makes me want to come back with my catfish gear and see what else is in there!

Fished Bill and Ann Miller Park on Saturday evening. I caught two turtles (which are all over that lake) and one baby channel catfish before I ran out of bait, but the sunset was pretty fantastic.
Total elapsed time between those three photos was 12 minutes, from 8:39 to 8:51.
3 lbs, 4 oz Largemouth Bass caught in Lake Granbury on April 16, 2018.
Took a little weekend trip to Dallas and stopped for a night at my in-law’s house in Granbury. Caught this one (my new PB largemouth) just off a boat ramp about 200 yards from their house.

Saturday my wife and I went fishing at Higginbotham Park for the first time (while our 3-year-old was with his grandparents). It’s a nice little 6-acre pond next to a playground. We only fished a couple of hours before a storm rolled in, but she caught a nice little green sunfish with her first cast with a little Mepps spinner, and I caught a couple of (really small) common carp.
I decided not to weigh and measure any of the fish we caught to submit for lake records, but I intend to go back sometime soon and get one.
