This fish is so big that the Texas Parks and Wildlife's Toyota ShareLunker program catch by angler Brodey Davis is pending a new Lake O.H. Ivie record and is one of the top 10 Texas largemouth bass of all time, weighing at 17.06 pounds.
Angler Brodey Davis caught one of the biggest largemouth bass in TX history at 17 pounds on lake O.H. Ivie.Texas Parks and Wildlife's Toyota ShareLunker program
Kyle Brookshear, the Toyota ShareLunker Program Manager, says a fish that size is rare, even by Texas' standards."In Texas, we're kind of spoiled by big fish," Brookshear said."As far as a 17 pounder goes, that's a rare fish, even in Texas. We've only had a handful of those collected prior to this year, and most of those happened decades ago. To have a fish like that come in is pretty substantial.
An angler will collect a fish, or multiple fish, and submit the data about the catch through the Sharelunker mobile app or website. That data will provide the program with a genetic library that allows them to track and evaluate the catch's offspring. Once an angler catches a bass, they loan or donate the catch to the Sharelunker program where they breed and take stock of the offspring in their fishery center in Athens, Texas.
