If you thought that was impressive, you won't believe the size of the catfish that live in Lake Texoma! Because of the abundant minnows and other food sources, catfish routinely grow into the double digits. The biggest on record for Lake Texoma was a blue catfish that weighed in at over 121 pounds and nearly 5 feet long!

Visitors of all skill levels will find it easy to catch something in this lake, regardless of season or whether you're fishing from shore or a boat. A fishing license is required, but allows you to fish the entire lake, regardless of the state.

Boating on Lake Texoma can be a great way to spend the day. There are plenty of marinas located around the lake where you can launch and dock your own boat. Be sure to reserve a slip if you're planning on docking your boat overnight and be prepared to pay launch and dock fees.
