Young fishing masters have set new records. Three powerful fish

Record bass

Kadence Strain reported her prey as a potential record in the junior category for Lake Nasworthy. Her large -tailed bass weighed 7.85 pounds (approx. 3.56 kg) and measured 24 1/4 inches (approx. 61.6 cm). The previous record, established in 2023, was 7.43 pounds (approx. 3.37 kg). This means not only improving the local record, but also an important step for this young fishing fish, which is just starting its adventure with professional fishing.

Expeditions to Lake Nasworthy have been attracting enthusiasts for years due to the occurrence of large predators there, including impressive bass specimens. Kadence’s success can contribute to even greater interest in young people with this tank.

Huge catfish

Conagher Smith, who reported his channel sum as a potential record in the junior category for EV Spence Reservoir, turned out to be another record holder. The fish weighed 6.85 pounds (approx. 3.11 kg) and measured 27 inches in length (approx. 68.6 cm). Lake Ev Spence, located northwest of San Angelo, is a popular fishing place, famous especially for the occurrence of sums and zander.

Chopping such a magnificent channel sum is a real feat, especially since the weather conditions in this region can be variable, and fish often behave very carefully. Conagher showed not only patience, but also a great knowledge of fishing techniques, which is usually used only at a higher level of advancement.

Catfish giant

The third record holder was Victor Garcia, who reported his square sum as a potential record in the junior category for Twin Buttes Reservoir. The fish weighed 12.25 pounds (approx. 5.56 kg) and measured 30 inches in length (approx. 76.2 cm). The previous record in this category was 5.4 pounds (approx. 2.45 kg) and was established in 2020. The new result almost twice exceeds it.

Twin Buttes Reservoir is known as a challenge fishery. Changing water levels and rich underwater vegetation make experienced anglers often have to show creativity and precision. For young Victor it was not only a sporting success, but also a personal triumph and proof that systematic training can lead to spectacular results.

Young anglers inspired the community

Young anglers not only set new records, but also inspire the fishing community to further involve young people in this sport. Educational programs and initiatives promoting fishing among children and young people are gaining popularity, and the successes of such anglers as Kadence, Conagher and Victor show that it is worth investing in the development of young talents.

Hundreds of local fishing wheels operate throughout Texas, which run workshops, competitions and educational meetings, promoting not only sport, but also a responsible approach to nature. Examples of three young record holders confirm that such activities bring real results.
