Another (Almost) Sharelunker at Fork

Took my buddy out fishing at Fork the other day. He set the hook on this toad.. 12.54#

Beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing. Any specifics on how she was caught?

Black and blue jig up shallow.

Night fishing?

Yeah everyone knows that's when you catch the big girls.

Great fish! Congrats to him!

Big girl congrats!

Sharelunker is anything over 8lbs now https://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/?req=20171218b

Must have been a full moon to need sunglasses at night!

What a great fish! Thank you for sharing the inspirational pic.

Sharelunker to me is still 13 lbs. Them dropping it to 8 lbs. is a joke!

Congrats on the fish!

Those 8lbers are participation trophy sharelunkers.

That 12 sure is a pretty fish!

Yea a buddy told me about them lowering the qualifications down to 8lbs. Its my understanding that they still do not take anything under 13 to spawn. 8 to 12.999, go into some drawing for something. Anyway didn't know about it until after we released her.

check out the sun one his face for your answer.
Nice fish.

Something's fishy...

So by them dropping the qualifications to 8 pounds makes the guy at FLT right. The sharelunker program doesnt produce bigger fish. This kinda reminds me of the school system if you cant pass the class then we will lower the standards until you can lol.

Awesome fish. Nice job!

Pretty sure he was being a little sarcastic....I figured it was one of those "black northern" cells....cousin to the "blue northern" thunder/lightning cells...

Beauty of a fish!

Eclipse?
That fish has some big ole eyes...

Congrats on the almost teener. That lake may be a front runner of the Texas lakes to go for vacation.

Dang! If that wound have been caught by some of the vets here on Fork it would have weighed 13.01.

Nice fish. Congratulations on the DD!
