FISHING: ShareLunker season recalled
The 29th Toyota ShareLunker season wrapped up on April 30, with a total of six fish entered.
That’s according to a press release from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
David Roulston of Frisco caught the first ShareLunker, No. 558, which is a 13.88-pound largemouth bass from Lake Fork in Athens on Nov. 20. The fish was 26.75 inches long, and 20.5 inches in girth.
McAllen’s Blair Schwarz caught ShareLunker No. 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 crankbait in about six feet of water.
Lake Ray Roberts produced ShareLunker No. 560, caught by Shannon Lee Elvington from Pilot Point on March 7. The 15.18-pound bass took a jerkbait.
This is the current lake record for Ray Roberts, located in Sanger, and it’s a little more than three ounces shy of making the list of the 50 biggest largemouth bass ever caught in Texas.
Elvington has qualified for Angler of the Year honors, catching the largest fish of the season. He received a lifetime fishing license. Read more in the mid-week 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.
