He recorded the water temperature as 49 degrees. Booth was also fishing in a Media Bass tournament, also near Kickapoo Creek in eight feet of water. The current Lake Palestine water body record of 13.14 pounds was set by Lindell Booth in 2013. I would not be surprised to see more ShareLunkers come from this lake." You can often find them really stacked into the creek channels winding their way through these flats, especially on the colder days.
