Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is headquarters for the Budweiser ShareLunker program, which encourages anglers who have caught 13-pound-plus largemouth bass to lend or donate the fish to TPWD for spawning purposes. At the end of spawning season, the ShareLunker will be returned to the angler for live release, or the angler may donate it permanently to the program. Either way, the angler receives a fiberglass replica of the catch made by Lake Fork Taxidermy, Budweiser ShareLunker clothing, and recognition at an annual awards banquet held at TFFC. In addition, the Texas resident catching the largest entry of the season is awarded a lifetime fishing license.

Is recession coming?
Excuse me but the house market is not in a slump I have at least a dozen friends, who are contractors through out the south and they are selling the houses as soon as the slabs are formed up. What are in a slump are pre- pre-existing house sales. What you need to consider is the slump is based on tremendous highs so is this really a slump? You must also consider part of those highs were because of rebuilding after hurricanes Katrina and Rita, these were houses that should not have been in the equation but were. Now that this rebuilding effort comes to competition it is natural that there will appear to be a slump. It's all based on speculation like oil prices, that's part of how they control prices

I was thinking the same thing when putting this together; I do know that in Texas plastics and jigs are #1 & #2 because they both produce quantity as well as quality. The way I look at it is way would you not want to throw #1 Beetle spin do come in ¼ oz size 8-)

Housing industry is not in a slump, pre-existing house sales are down but new house sales are still though the roof. Yes the stock market may have ended down today but only after months of record highs. Gas prices are man made; you gas prices to go down then quit buying foreign and drill domestic.

A few questions about braided line
Only my jig rod has braided line every thing else is Berkley Big Game 15# test; I do not use a leader. Think about it most types of vegetation grows in long thin strands which bass can not distinguish from your line. Berkley Crystal, now that's funny right there; braided lines started out white and every one complained. So we went through a menagerie of colors only to end up at white again.

Heisman Picks
The Heisman Trophy is an award to the most outstanding college football player; if this is true then how could you leave out defensive players. To me it's all a joke because the best player rarely gets selected; case in point why was Jerry Rice never selected? Mr. Rice holds 58 NCAA Division 1A receiving records including: 301 receptions for 4,693 yards and 50 touchdowns in 41 games. Answer he played for lowly Mississippi Valley State

Choosing a lure...When do YOU fish what bait?
How old you say you are? Back before depth finders which give you a picture of the bottom we used flashers and a Rat-L-Trap. Many say why not a crank baits? Because one Rat-L-Trap can cover the entire water column.
