Largemouth Bass

Texas ShareLunker Program

Purpose of the Program

TFFC is headquarters for the Toyota ShareLunker Program. Anglers who catch largemouth bass weighing 13 pounds or more are encouraged to lend or donate the fish to TPWD for spawning purposes. Participating anglers receive statewide recognition and prizes to commemorate their catch.

Since the program began in 1986, more than 450 lunkers have been donated. Superior genetics from ShareLunker bass and their offspring are used to improve the quality of fish stocked in Texas waters. Ultimately, TPWD hopes to produce the next world record largemouth bass.
