Lake Fork does it again with 2009 Share A Lunker #1 for Texas. If you are not familiar, in TX if you catch a Bass larger than 13pounds you can turn it in to the TX Conservation Dept. (TX Parks and Wildlife I think.) They will take the bass to the hatchery to use her genetics for a year to get her eggs. You get a fiberglass replica for free. The bass will be tagged and returned to the lake from where she was caught.

Following is the info:

On Thursday 2-12 Bruce Peel of Granbury TX. was fishing a creek edge in 16 ft. of water with a big bite beaver in watermelon when he caught Share a Lunker #459. She is 25.75 inches long and 20.5 inches in girth. It is big fish time on Lake Fork!

This would be # 8 for the yr. if I remember correctly. How much did it weigh?

13.13

I wonder how crowded White Oak has been the last few days!  ;D
