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.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
