William Oliver of Chandler was up to his old tricks again on the morning of March 19.
It didn’t take long for the Lake Palestine/Lake Tyler fishing guide to steer Tucker Sepaugh of Belton to the fishing treat of his life. It was about 8 a.m. when an 11-year-old angler hooked up with a monster flathead catfish at Lake Tyler.
Oliver is veteran Lake Palestine/ Tyler multi-species fishing guide who pioneered the art of sniffing out whopper catfish using forward facing sonar technology. The 39-year-old angler is so intrigued by the denizens of the deep that he launched a catch frequency study on the two lakes back in 2022. The idea was to determine how often individual fish are caught, and the locations where the catches are made.
