Lake Texoma’s Favorite Game Fish: The Striper

Although ranking number four in Texas overall, on Lake Texoma, the striped bass (striper) is the most important and popular game fish by far. The second most popular game fish on Lake Texoma is the largemouth bass. While largemouth bass are highly sought after and provide great sport, they don’t quite match the popularity of stripers on this particular lake. The gap between the popularity of stripers and largemouth bass is significant, with stripers being the primary draw for many anglers visiting Lake Texoma.
