But I'm Cajun, and it doesn't bother me what anyone else refers to their fish as. I've caught 4 over 8 and none over 9 lbs, so you bet I'm proud of every one of the 8#ers I've caught. Why should I care if someone else is just as proud as the fish they caught. To each his own. Last edited by sprigsss; 02/07/20 10:09 PM.

I don't see anyone claiming to call an 8lber a sharelunker on this forum or any FB group page. To me, it's official when the TPWD truck shows up. I don't think it has watered down the term, especially if the OP is just now finding out about it.

Seems like that was a term for fish over 13 lbs and now just a good fish is called that. This was discussed last year. Some poster wore the bass section out on the new share lunker rules, by posting pictures of his catch (s) and labeling them share lunkers
