Trading one school (of fish that is) for another
Pat and Grant Proctor of Norman with a 10-pound striper caught Aug. 18 on Lake Texoma.
With school starting last week, Pat Proctor of Norman wanted to take his son for one last fishing trip of the summer before he started first grade.
So Pat, his 6-year-old son Grant, and his father, Bobby, former University of Oklahoma football coach, went to Texoma last week and slayed the stripers.
“We left Soldier Creek about 6:30 a.m. (on Aug. 18) and found some nice topwater action at 6:45 a.m.,” Pat said. “We caught about 25 fish which averaged 5 pounds.”
The big catch of the morning was Grant’s 10-pounder.
“Grant has a broken arm which made it a little difficult to get this big fish in,” his father said. “What a great way to end summer and send Grant to first grade.” The striper action generally slows on Texoma in September before picking back up again in October.
