I am not sure what all this "Data" is going to change.. I'm betting nothing..
We have been studying bass for decades.. This ain't no new species of fish..
This SL program is a great publicity program for the state of Texas..
Nothing more..
Don't make me use PAW's data again to prove my point.. I don't have the energy.. Having more data certainly never hurt anything. Listen to the words coming out of our mouth man. You sound like every old curmudgeon who's ever lived. If you have no use for science, math, biology, and data, to each their own... You don't have to participate. One thing is for certain though, complaining on this forum about minor changes in a privately funded program is not going to make our fisheries any better.

I don't think I was complaining.. Just stating fact..
If that's what being a grumpy old crumedgeon is, then I'll wear the badge..
Seems like if this stuff was so good, it wouldn't have to be sold so hard..
Later

If it started out as 8# and above and then separated into classes y’all wouldn’t be in such a tizzy.

I dont plan to participate by entering anything under 13 pounds. So far, I have zero of those. But getting more people involved, getting more publicity for the program and for Texas and getting more data are all good things.

i spent a decade working very closely with SAL(Mr. Campbell, RIP) and was responsible for keeping many alive for years. i think this new data will negatively affect the original idea and F1 strain logistics and studies. might be good for more documentation on record to support asking for more funds IMHO.

I dont think so. We’re so spoiled here with insanely good fisheries that we sometimes forget that a huge number of people that bass fish consider an 8+ a true trophy. Pretty cool for TPWD to offer some recognition on the share lunker platform imo. Also brings more awareness to the program as well as providing TPWD with additional data to study. Just have to get used to saying “Legacy Class ShareLunker” for those freaks over 13. I agree with this.

They should worry more about preserving aquatic vegetation to yield better fry survival rates, rather than watering down the ShareLunker system. I am quickly becoming a non advocate for TPWD. They have REALLY pulled some bonehead moves the last few years. Quit killing all the veggies in the lakes! Quit giving out a ribbon to everyone that catches a big bass! 13+ should be the ribbon winners! sorry.. rant over. got off on a tangent. ugh.

I was genuinely looking for more information from someone in the know because your statement made me curious. No need to explain more if you don’t want to. It was a simple question.

Exactly what I was thinking.
