(Apr 28, 2009 TPWD News Release) Don’t count your chickens until they hatch, and don’t close the books on the ShareLunker program until the last tick of the clock April 30. With less than a week to go until the official close of the ShareLunker season, Sam Koebcke of Austin added another ShareLunker to Choke Canyon Reservoir’s tally for the year, a 13.30-pound bass that stretched 26.75 inches long and 20.75 inches in girth.
The six ShareLunkers from Choke Canyon this season weighed a total of 85.31 pounds, an average of 14.21 pounds. The biggest fish of the year from the lake was a 15.45-pound lake record.
As a measure of Choke Canyon’s performance, compare the 14.21-pound average with the average for Lake Conroe’s four entries, 13.98 pounds; and the average for Lake Fork’s four entries, 13.88 pounds.
