SAN ANGELO, Texas — There are big bass and then...there are MONSTER BASS!
Jason Conn, a fishing guide on Lake Fork, recently made the trek out to popular Central Texas lake and reeled in a legend!
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD)Conn caught a Top 50 largemouth bass from O.H. Ivie with the fishing weighing in at a whopping 17.03 pounds.
"[It] is one of the largest Lunkers to hit the scales in Texas history," the TPWD said. "His Legacy Class Lunker is the eighth heaviest Texas largemouth bass of all time."
The 2022 season really was a remarkable year for the ShareLunker program.
Nearly 500 ShareLunkers were caught by 340 anglers across all size categories. One angler caught 14 and O.H. Ivie and 144 of the ShareLunkers came from that one body of water.
