For December 79 degrees and light winds until past noon is totally unexpected. And the results showed that. Water temps around 58.

Hard Core is what we call this tournament, but it follows the Major League Fishing format where every fish you catch over 10" counts. With Lake Fork partitioned into three sections and the section rotates each week throughout the year. Today section 1 was scheduled. LFA Members will qualify for the semi-final in November by catching 6 lb. and fishing in at least 6 tournaments.
