OUTDOORS NOTEBOOK: First ShareLunker bass has been caught
David Roulston of Frisco caught a 13.88-pound largemouth bass from Lake Fork on Nov. 20, as part of the kickoff to the Toyota ShareLunker season.
Roulston was fishing in 25 feet of water with a Brush Hog when the fish slammed the lure.
Roulston’s catch sets the bar for fishermen hoping to become Angler of the Year.
The person who catches the largest entry will be named Angler of the Year and will receive a G. Loomis rod, Shimano Reel and PowerPro line combination.
If the Angler of the Year is also a Texas resident, that person receives a Texas lifetime fishing license.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters – public or private – between Oct. 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel will pick up the fish within 12 hours.
All anglers entering fish into the ShareLunker program receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing.
They are also recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.
ShareLunker catches may be reported 24 hours per day, seven days a week during the season, or call (903) 681-0550. Anglers may also leave a phone number, including area code, at 888-784-0600. That number is monitored 24 hours per day, seven days a week during the season.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last season, see www.tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with photos.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
