The TPWD ShareLunker program invites anglers to participate in a year-long event that runs from January 1 through December 31.
Participants who catch a largemouth bass weighing at least 8 pounds or measuring 24 inches are eligible to enter.
Upon confirmation, anglers receive a "Catch Kit" that includes an achievement decal, exclusive merchandise, and various giveaways.
Moreover, every entrant is included in a grand prize drawing for a $5,000 shopping spree, among other prizes.
Additionally, anglers who donate a bass weighing 13 pounds or more for spawning purposes are entered into another draw, which includes a $5,000 shopping spree and VIP access to the Toyota ShareLunker Annual Awards event.
This initiative contributes to bass conservation and breeding efforts.
