He wahi nuiʻo Texas ma nā loko, nā muliwai, nā loko a me nā kahawai, me ka hāʻawiʻana i ka lawaiʻa kūpilikiʻi he nui. I loko o kēia mau wai e ola i nāʻano iʻa nui o ka iʻa iʻa, kahi nuiʻole kahi e manaʻo ai e hele ma ka Lone Star State.
E like me ka hihia ma waena o ka lāhui, nā kīʻaha - ka nui o nā whanui nui,ʻo ka mea nui - ke aupuni i ka hoʻolālā lawaiʻaʻo Texas. ʻOiaiʻo ka nui o nā kīhā nui nui i kaulana loa ma waena oʻAmelika Huipūʻia, ua ulu nui kēlā kaulana i Texas.
ʻO ia ke kumu nui no ka meaʻo Texas kahi home o kekahi o nā loko iʻa lawaiʻa . ʻAʻole wale kēia mau loko i hukiʻia no Texans, akā, mai ka poʻe maiki mai o ka honua. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua lilo ka lawaiʻa lawaiʻa iʻoihana kaulana i Texas e hikiʻole ke loaʻaʻole ka hapanui o nā kaona e pili ana i kēia mau loko me ka loaʻaʻole o ka waiwai kālā i hanaʻia mai nā hoʻokūkū bass a me nā hoʻokipa lawaiʻa.
ʻOiai,ʻoiaiʻo nā kīʻaha nui nui e hoʻomalu i ka hanana lawaiʻa no kahi iʻa iʻa ma Texas, ua mamao loa lākou i ka liloʻana i nāʻano iʻa. ʻO Texas kahi home no kekahi mau iʻa iʻa lawaiʻa. ʻO nā muliwai nui e like me ka Ula, Brazos, a me keʻanoʻekolu keʻikeʻia no ka hāʻawiʻana i nā iʻa polu a me nā mele kōmaʻa, e like me ka nui o kēia mau loko i loaʻa i kēia mau muliwai a me nā muliwai'ē aʻe o ka moku. ʻO ka hapanui o kēia mau iʻa nui i hopuʻia ma luna o ke koʻokoʻo a me ke kani a iʻole e kau i ka laina. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻololi muaʻo Texas i kona mau kānāwai pili i ka lawaiʻa lima - aiʻole nā mea noʻonoʻo - no kekahiʻano, no ka mea, e loaʻa ai ka loiloi i ka mea kaulana.
Loaʻaʻia ka'anana puna ma nā kahawai, kahawai, muliwai, loko iʻa a me ke kai i loko o ka Lone Star State a he mau lawaiʻa "iʻa lawaiʻa" nui ia.
ʻO ka waiʻo Texas kekahi home i kahi laulā o nā iʻa iʻa liʻiliʻi. ʻO nā mea kaulana loa o kēia mau meaʻeleʻele keʻokeʻo aʻeleʻele a me ka bluegill. ʻOiai uaʻikeʻia kēia mauʻano ma ka hapanui o nā loko nui ma Texas,ʻo kaʻoihanaʻoi aku o ka crappie a me ka bluegillʻoi aku ma ka hikina a me ka waenakonu o ka moku'āina.
Ma nā wahi a pau o Texas,ʻo nā iʻa e like me ka lawai'ōmaʻomaʻo, ka kapa hāmaʻa, ka lawaiʻa hou, a me nā lawaiʻa lōʻihi e kaulana i nā mea lawaiʻa eʻimi ana i kahi lā hoʻomaha ma ka wai. Ma ka'āina Texas Hill'āina a me nā wahi o South Texas,ʻo Texas wale nō ka'emakua cichlid,ʻo Rio Grande perch, noho i kekahi mau muliwai a me nā kahawai.
Ke hoʻi i ke kumuhana o nā bass,ʻaʻole nui nā pōhaku nui ma kahi o Texas. Loaʻa nā hakahaka i nā kahawai a me nā loko o nā moku'āina. ʻO ke kahawai kaulanaʻo Lake Texoma ma ka palenaʻo Texas / Oklahoma,ʻoiai he nui nā loko iʻa'ē aʻe,ʻo ia hoʻiʻo Lake Austin a me ka Lady Bird Lake, aʻo ia mau wahi i kāpiliʻia ma ke kahawai o Colorado ma loko o nā palena palena o Austin. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā loko iʻa i loaʻaʻole i ka heluna o nā kī liʻiliʻi i hoʻopaʻaʻia me nā mea kāpili'ōpiopio (ka waena ma waena o nā pāpā keʻokeʻo a me ke kīpau). ʻO nā lau keleʻele nui loa - mahalo loa i ka wā o ko lākou 'ʻauheʻe' - a aia ma nāʻano muliwai, kahawai, kahawai a me nā loko, ma Central a me East Texas.
Aia kekahi mau iʻaʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele ma Texas. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo ka iʻa kā'āinaʻo Texasʻo ka Guadalupe bass, kahiʻano'ōiwi a loaʻa wale ma ka'āinaʻo Texas Hill Country wale nō.
ʻO nā kīʻaha kīnaha he mea maʻalahi ia i nā kahakai o Texas. A, aia kekahi mau loko kai nui e mahalo nei i Texas e kaena ana i ka lawaiʻa liʻiliʻi o smallmouth.
Loaʻa ka manawa e loaʻa ai i nā mea hōʻeuʻeu ma Texas kekahi manawa e hopu ai i kekahi mauʻano i piliʻole i ka Lone Star State. I ka Texas panhandle, nui nā loko iʻa e kākoʻo i ka heluna olakino o ka'āina. Aia nō hoʻiʻo Texas i kahi lawaiʻa maikaʻi iʻa . Ma waho aʻe o ka polokalamu hoʻolālā hoʻolāʻau o ka hoʻoilo, kahi i hoʻokomoʻia ai ka'ūni anuenue i loko o nā loko, nā loko a me nā muliwai ma ka moku'āina, ua maikaʻi nā muliwai o ka'āinaʻo Hill Country, ka makahiki a puni ke anuenue a me ka lawaiʻa. ʻO ka makahiki maikaʻi loa e pili ana i nā lawaiʻa iʻa i Texas aia ma ke kahawaiʻo Guadalupe ma lalo o ke kahawaiʻo Canyon Lake Dam.
