There is a post from an angler in the Fresh Water Report section of the forum of a Large Mouth Bass caught that was 16.73 Lbs. Canyon Lake. The angler did not post a picture of the fish but had it weighed by Parks & Wildlife and sent to the Athens Hatchery. Has anyone have any knowledge of this? Resent catch. Side Note: Lifetime Catch for sure.

Nothing on the TPWD Sharelunker FB page, they usually post them within 24 hours.

The post actually said Canyon Lake and talked about catching some smallmouth so not Choke. I am very skeptical about this. We'll see.

They would not send a drum to the Athens Hatchery! Side Note: As already been stated by Ken A. I would love for this to be true! If not the angler who posted this in the freshwater section should be banned. Just my two cents.

I would love for this to be true That would be great news for sure!  Side Note: I got a gut feeling that the post in the freshwater section of the forum is false. A post of a 16 plus pound Large Mouth Bass is "BIG News" in the fishing world, and hopefully the facts reported by the OP in the freshwater section are true.

If you go to the TPWD Sharelunker page you won't see the 2 Legacy bass that have been caught so far!

Correct they have 2 , but not a 16.73 . Spoke with the man in charge of sharelunker on the phone . If you go to the TPWD Sharelunker page you won't see the 2 Legacy bass that have been caught so far!
