It’s been more than three decades since Texas has seen a state-record bass. Here’s a New Year’s wish hoping some lucky bass angler makes the magical cast and gets it done in 2023.
Texas’ bass fishing community is starving for a record. It would be great for fishing and golden for Texas. Such a fish also would be a fluffy feather in the cap of Texas Parks and Wildlife, especially if it were confirmed as a descendant of a Toyota ShareLunker. |

Super-sized largemouths are always females. Most will be full of eggs and nearing peak weight over the next 30-45 days as the spawning season draws near. Factor in a healthy breakfast, and a big bass can develop a really serious weight problem in a hurry. Brodey Smith’s 17.06-pounder caught from Lake O.H. Ivie last March was one big gizzard shad away from busting the 18.18-pound mark set by Barry St. Clair in January 1992 at Lake Fork. |
