http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/?req=20170213aIt seems a Texas fisheries bred fish has been caught shattering the lake record by over 2 pounds!!!! I feel bad for the rest of the fish in this small lake. It also makes me wonder whats is hiding just up the road in Worth or Eagle Mountain.
A five spot for a shot and a beer? And you wonder how we wound up here.

It works. Just a lot of misconceptions and myths about the program.

The science does not lie, now if they can catch a big one in Raven like that or one of the other lakes they were giving special attention to (or is this lake one of them also) wasnt it operation WR or something?

Good for TPWD! They deserve some kudos.
I firmly believe we have been enjoying the benefits from the SAL program for many years and just didn't realize it. There are lots of naysayers out there that will try to discredit the program but it works. The facts don't lie.

In a search for TPWD Operation World Record Bass I found an article that stated the average time it takes a brood fish to reach Share a Lunker size is 11 years. Since that project was done in 2006 this fits perfectly. It will be interesting now to see if 2nd gen lunkers start to show with more frequency.

If the funding was possible, it would be great if all Tx lakes had participated in this. Tpwd is one of the greatest if not "the" greatest wildlife regulating and conservationist a state has governmentally provided.

Texas is far ahead of other states in Fish and Wildlife Management. I think the S.A.L. Program has changed the way people think about catch and release. I remember the "old days" at Toledo Bend" with pictures holding up stringers of 40-50 fish. All of them to be filleted for the skillet. Now, I know that I haven't kept a bass for over fifteen years. Thank God for Catfish! Lake Fork is full of them and not many folks fish for them. They eat well.
It's the same with Quality Deer Management in Texas. Most of us can do without shooting another three yr old 8 pt every year, if we know it will grow into a big'un.
Anyway, TPWD has changed the way we fish.
Keep it up, I live to catch a 13# BASS.

There are more bass kept on Toledo than any other lake in the country. I witness more bass put into coolers and live wells during the week than I see get released.

Falcon and Amistad have alot of fish be taken off the lake, TB too. But they produce big fish. Catch and release does not work perfectly if your not harvesting some of the fish.
