Quitman, Texas



After leaving Dallas I will be visiting relatives in Quitman, Texas, a small town in Northeast Texas. It's biggest claim to fame is being the birthplace of actress Sissy Spacek. It is the county seat of Wood County and claims to be the "Big Bass Capital of Texas." Not a bad claim considering that Lake Fork, a nearby 27,690 acre lake built on the Sabine River, holds 15 of the top 20 Texas State Record Largemouth Bass catches.
