Brodey Davis’ 17.06 pounder caught from Lake O.H. Ivie in 2022 is one of two 17 pounders caught from the West Texas lake over the last three years. It ranks No. 7 on Texas Top 50 list, one spot ahead of the 17.03 pounder Jason Conn caught there in 2023. Both anglers relied on forward-facing sonar, a real-time technology that helps fishermen sniff out heavyweights in deep, open water where they were previously unmolested. (TPWD Photo)
