ABILENE, Texas — An 11-year-old recently reeled in the catch of a lifetime on a Texas lake.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TWPD), Stetson Davis landed the 11th Legacy Class ShareLunker of the season weighing in at 13.31 lbs. at Lake J.B. Thomas, just west of Abilene, topping the junior angler waterbody record for largemouth bass by more than five pounds.
Legacy Lunker - If you catch a 13+ pound bass and loan it to the TPWD during the spawning period (January-March), you support their selective breeding program and will be recognized as a member of the Lunker Legacy Class.
Lew's Legend - Out of the millions of bass anglers in Texas, only a select few have ever crossed the 13-pound threshold. The TPWD recognizes these anglers as part of the Lew's Legend Class.
Strike King Elite - Anglers everywhere dream of catching a double-digit bass! When you reach that goal in Texas, you will be recognized in the Strike King Elite Class.
Bass Pro Shops Lunker - Catch a lunker that is at least 8 lbs. or 24 inches to become part of the ShareLunker program and be recognized in the Bass Pro Shops Lunker Class.
"This catch is the pending junior waterbody record and is the second Legacy Class bass from J.B. Thomas," the TWPD said. "Stetson, thank you for supporting a future full of bigger better bass in Texas."
