Genetics

Biologists confirm genetics of first ShareLunker offspring – Paris News

In March 2006, angler Edward Reid pulled a staggering 14.48 pound largemouth bass from the depths of Lake Conroe near Houston. On Feb. 10, nearly 11 years later and more than 234 miles away, angler Ryder Wicker caught the 13.07-pound offspring of that fish from Marine Creek Lake near Fort Worth.

The Lake Conroe fish, later called ShareLunker 410, was able to leave a legacy of her big-bass genetics to the state thanks to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Departments Toyota ShareLunker Program, which has been selectively breeding and stocking angler-caught largemouth bass over 13 pounds since 1986 with the goal of increasing the production of trophy-sized fish in Texas reservoirs.
