FISH GRAB BAG—They may be fishing for bass, but there’s 
no telling what they’ll reel in—we explain ahead on 
Passport to Texas. 

This is Passport to Texas

The Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest is a professional bass 
fishing tournament that puts the spotlight on Texas’ 
exceptional bass fisheries. The event comes to Lake 
Travis in the Texas Hill Country May 17-20.

04—Just outside of Jonestown, Texas at Jones Brothers Park.

Dave Terre, chief of fish management and research, 
coordinates the event for TPWD. The pro anglers who fish 
the tournament should also expect to reel in species 
other than largemouth.

38—It’s going to be kind of cool this year. Yes, they’ll catch 
white bass, they’ll catch a striper. But I think they’re going to be 
reeling in one really cool fish this year. A fish that they’ve never 
caught in the 12 year history of the Toyota Texas Bass Classic, 
Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest. They going to be catching some 
of the state fish this year. The Guadalupe bass. They’re very 
abundant in Lake Travis, and also, we’re going to be doing 
some messaging with that fish this year…since we’re doing so 
much work with the Guadalupe bass right here in the Texas Hill 
Country; that will be really cool.

The Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest is May 17-20 on Lake 
Travis. It’s free to attend, and offers an Outdoor 
Adventures Area for family friendly fun. Details at 
bassmaster.com.

The Sport Fish Restoration program supports our series.
