OUTDOORS: Season’s second ShareLunker caught
Blair Schwarz of McAllen caught Toyota ShareLunker 559 from a private lake in Zapata County on Feb. 19.
The fish weighed 14.3 pounds, and was caught on a Jackall ASKA squarebill crank bit in six-foot deep water.
The length and girth were unavailable at press time.
The fish is the 22nd entry into the ShareLunker program from private waters, with the first ShareLunker 4 caught by Dan Berg of Hilltop Lakes in 1987.
Schwarz’s fish, as the largest entry of the season so far, leads the race for Angler of the Year.
Should Schwarz win Angler of the Year, he would receive a lifetime fishing license.
ShareLunker 559 is the sixth-largest entry from private waters. The last prior to Schwarz’s fish, ShareLunker 473, was caught by Tyler’s Paul Detwiler in 2009. That fish weighed 14.43 pounds. Read more in the Bowie News.
