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.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
