Some people just like to be contrary it seems. If I had a pea size brains to start with, you start taking oxygen away and it will slow all responses. Eventually ( it doesn't take long) if the oxygen stays low you pass out and die. They had a really hard time waking me once when an aircraft had a pressure leak. This isn't the first or last DO caused fish kill on TR. If you've been watching the generation schedule they haven't been running much water either in or out of the lake, so I can see there being low DO pockets forming. My first college course was taught by a limnology major, a lake isn't like a glass of water with everything consistent.
My personal Lake Record is 9lb 7 ounce, (April 1994) which is better than my lake record for Fork, Toho, Rodman, Toledo Bend, Kentucky, St Johns River, Kissimee, etc.
I was out early put in at Shell Knob fished towards Eagle Rock. Whites and small spots were hitting TW over the channel by the island, killed some time chasing them. Must be a poor fisherman, could not find any on roll offs or flats. Ended up spooning and dropshot into deep docks to find any keepers.
I believe, as I read the code , you can carry a fish around for a while but if you release it at a later time, it still counts toward your daily limit. It's not prohibited to release them at another spot in the same body of water.
