My father and I when I was younger used to buy these HUGE lures that could catch sand bass with them and the bass were (striped) were monstrous. I remember a few times we would see them dead on the lakes we’d visit. These 3ft+ long fat fish. And my father would get a nice smile.We’d go to Lake Texoma a bunch when I was younger. And I think Lake Louisville too. Everyone always talked about the crazy fights they’d put up, and how fun it was to fish for them. I remember, because my father wouldn’t stop talking about them.
Now my Father lives on the coast and when I asked him about how often he tried, he really didn’t go into detail as to why he did it, and then why he stopped suddenly. I was just curious as to why I don’t see much about them here? Or hear about people fishing for them?
Anyway, any thoughts on these. Any info about them… Maybe one day I’ll buy another john boat and take care of it so I can fish out in deeper waters again!
Sorry, I just read some blog posts here and it took me back a bit.

Every March, I’d look forward to catching a bunch of sand bass (stripers) when I lived in E. Tx., fishing on Lake O the Pines. They weren’t as big as what you said for Texoma, usually topped out around 2 – 2 1/2 #. We’d use road runners or Rat-L-Traps, but they would hit about any crank bait. They eat pretty good, we’d keep a few. For their size, they put up a great fight. Thanks for good memories.
