The resolution designates Hemphill, Texas, as the official Bass Fishing Capital of Texas, highlighting its reputation as a premier destination for bass fishing. Located in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Hemphill is strategically situated between two renowned fishing locations, Toledo Bend Reservoir and Sam Rayburn Reservoir, both of which have been recognized as top bass fishing sites in the nation. The city serves as a hub for fishing-related businesses, including marinas, bait shops, and guide services, which contribute significantly to the local economy and reflect the community's strong commitment to outdoor culture and conservation efforts.

The resolution also acknowledges the role of public agencies, such as the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Sabine River Authority of Texas, in managing and enhancing the fishing resources in the area. These agencies are involved in fish stocking, habitat development, and the promotion of recreational activities, further solidifying Hemphill's status as a fishing destination. The designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage, celebrating the city's heritage and ongoing contributions to the sport of bass fishing in Texas.
