During 1950′s the state of Texas baked beneath one of the most severe droughts in recorded history. In fact, areas around Lubbock endured one whole year (1952) without a single drop of rain. This drought gravely affected Texas agriculture and dropped lake levels to all time lows creating shortages and the rigorous rationing of water.

Because Texas had outgrown it is water supply in the 1950′s, the next few decades saw the completion of a lot of man-made reservoirs all over the Lone Star State. However, the native species of bass in Texas, including the northern largemouth and the Guadalupe Bass, were more adapted to living in littler rivers and streams than in these new, immense expanses of water. Texas necessitated a fish that would adjust well to big lakes and reservoirs.

Therefore in 1971, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) brought the original Florida strain largemouth bass to Texas and stocked them in our newly built reservoirs. Over the next few years the Florida strain worked it is way into the bass population and the fish grew bigger. The basi indication of the success of the stocking program was seen in 1980 when Jim Kimbell broke the 37 year-old largemouth record (13.5 lbs.) with a 14.1 pound fish that he caught from Lake Monticello. Over the next twelve years the record books ofttimes changed when in 1992 Barry St. Clair caught the current state record (18.18 lbs.) from Lake Fork.

During this time, exploration confirmed that the exercise of catch and release was a leading contributor to the number of trophy bass being caught. For example, to reach a weight of 13 pounds, a bass ought to live within 8 to 10 years; thus, the proper management of our resources was a necessity. In 1986 T.P.W.D. started out the ShareLunker program with two goals in mind; to publicize conservation and to selectively breed trophy bass for stocking in Texas lakes.

To be entitled for the ShareLunker program, anglers must catch a largemouth bass from Texas waters (public or private) 13 pounds or over amid October 1st and April 30th. The fish must be weighed on certified scales and kept alive until T.P.W.D. officials arrive to transport the fish to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, TX.

After the fish is bred by T.P.W.D. biologists, the angler will have the option of returning the bass back to it is primary body of water or donating it permanently to the program. Those catching a ShareLunker will receive a free fiberglass reproduction of the fish, ShareLunker apparel and acknowledgement at the annual banquet. The heaviest ShareLunker fish of the year will likewise receive a lifetime fishing license from the state of Texas.

Last Friday Sam Callaway caught the highly coveted 500th ShareLunker weighing 13.34 pounds from O.H. Ivie Reservoir located east of San Angelo. This 500th fish came with a $500 per pound bounty. For his crusade Mr. Callaway received a total of $6670. The fish marked the 14th ShareLunker to be entered from O.H. Ivie nonetheless nine of them were caught in 2010.

Locally, Lake Nocona holds the most current ShareLunker as a 13.34 pound bass was caught on March 29 of this year. Lake Ray Roberts has had four bass entered; however, the last one was caught on March 6, 2005.
