High Profile Texoma Hero - Blake Shelton




There are undoubtedly other celebrities with homes and boats on Lake Texoma, but anyone watching TV and listening to the radio in the Texoma area knows that Blake Shelton is one celebrity who is spending time at his new home on the Oklahoma side of the lake these days.

It’s one thing for a high profile, country music jet setter like Shelton to drop in and enjoy his new home with a private dock and lake view from the master suite, but it’s another thing for him to bring his tractor out to pull a stranger’s truck out of the mud.

According to KXII.com, “Bryar Blanton, his cousin and two of his buddies were down by the Washita River, near Ravia, when their truck got stuck in a mud hole.

Blanton says he took off with a friend to go find help.

“Blake Shelton came around the corner and stopped and asked if we needed help," said Bryar Blanton. "So we hopped in with him."

Unfortunately, their trip with Shelton was short-lived, because his truck couldn’t dislodge theirs.

So, he offered to go home and get his tractor to pull them out of the mud. Which he did.

I don’t watch all that much TV, but this is the second time I’ve heard a KXII report on Blake Shelton rescuing Texomans with truck trouble. A few months ago, during the Lake Texoma flooding, he happened to show up at the right moment, then he picked up a stranger, Roho Hartman, and gave him a ride home.

That news report was a classic, especially when Hartman answered his cell phone. It was his wife calling, as Blake Shelton was giving him a lift home.

Fox8.com reports Hartman as telling his wife, “… Blake Shelton just pulled me out. You better slick up, we'll be there in just a minute."

I’m imagining myself getting a call like that one…

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 30)

FAIR. Water stained; 62 degrees; 3.54 feet below pool. The striper fishing is great with the rise in water levels and surface temperatures. The shad spawn is in full force, look for fish shallow along rocky banks on Topwaters and swimbaits. Look for birds on the banks and surface activity. Crappie are still scattered and in spawning stages. Fish are suspended under docks and near the top of brush. Jigs and small shad are working in 12-15 feet of water near creeks and coves. Catfish are showing up along the rocks and shallow flats. Cut shad or prepared baits in 5-12 feet of water near points and drop-offs. Bass are at the backs of coves and for suspended fish near docks. The shad spawn and rise in lake levels will pull fish on to the banks as well. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The lake is up several feet and there is lots of mud and floating debris, so navigate with caution. Striped bass are good along mudlines, flats and under the birds with swimbaits. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
