SAN ANGELO, TX — Josh Jones reeled in a 13.51-pound bass from O.H. Ivie Reservoir on Saturday, Feb. 21, marking the record fifth Legacy Class ShareLunker he has caught.
The fisherman from Sapulpa, Oklahoma, has caught all five of his Legacy ShareLunkers (13 pounds or heavier) since 2021, and all of them were caught at O.H. Ivie.
He became the first person to catch four Legacy ShareLunkers with his last catch in 2022, and he has broken the record again.
Ivie, which sits about 55 miles east of San Angelo, has been the state leader for Legacy ShareLunkers in recent years, and the lake has now produced two of the first nine in Texas this season.
There are also ShareLunker categories for 8 pounds (or 24 inches) and 10 pounds that allow anglers to participate in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department program.
Lake J.B. Thomas between Snyder and Big Spring produced the most ShareLunkers across all categories in 2025 and leads the state again this year.
During the first three months of each Toyota ShareLunker season (Jan. 1-March 31), anglers who reel in a Legacy Class largemouth bass have the option of loaning it to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for captive spawning at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. Its offspring will then be reared and stocked back into public lakes throughout the state, continuing to build and sustain the legacy of bigger, better bass for current and future generations of Texas anglers.
All confirmed ShareLunker participants will receive a Catch Kit corresponding to their fish's weight class. Each Catch Kit includes an achievement decal, merchandise and other giveaways. Plus, everyone who enters will be included in a grand prize drawing to win a $5,000 shopping spree and other prizes. Anglers who donate their bass 13 pounds or larger for spawning entered in an additional drawing to win a $5,000 shopping spree, VIP access to the Toyota ShareLunker Annual Awards event and other prizes.
