Texas Sharelunker Program

Purpose of the Program

TFFC is headquarters for the Budweiser ShareLunker program, which encourages anglers who have caught 13-pound-plus largemouth bass to lend or donate the fish to TPWD for spawning purposes. In the production hatchery, the big females are paired with pure Florida strain males. Superior genetics from ShareLunker females and their offspring are used to improve the quality of largemouth bass stocked in Texas waters. Ultimately, TPWD hopes to produce the next world record largemouth bass.
