The 2024 Toyota ShareLunker season saw record-breaking participation, with 371 anglers submitting 689 lunker largemouth bass from 89 Texas public waterbodies.
The program recorded 467 Bass Pro Shops Lunker Class entries (8-9.99 pounds or at least 24 inches), 190 Strike King Elite Class entries (10-12.99 pounds), 18 Legacy Class fish (13 pounds or more caught between Jan. 1 and March 31), and 14 Lew’s Legend Class Lunkers (13 pounds or more caught outside the collection season).
These submissions provided Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biologists with valuable data for bass population management. Anglers also contributed 82 DNA samples, helping TPWD determine genetic lineage and whether a fish was a hatchery product or related to past ShareLunkers.
