I was wondering how many of you have ever been to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, Texas. If you havent been its a great place to go. They have all of the varieties of freshwater fish that are in the State of Texas. They have huge bass, crappie, & catfish as well as a variety of other fish. It is a great place to visit if your ever around Athens, Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Lunker program is there. If you happen to catch a black bass over I think 13 pounds, they will come and pick the live fish up and supply you with a fiberglass replica. I am not sure if they do large crappie that way also but if they dont they sure need to.
