Well looks like we have the first to go to the 2009 ShareLunker program. ATHENS, Texas—Brad Bookmyer of Leander had his fishing trip cut short January 21, but he was happy about it. After hooking two fish so big he could not turn them and keep them from getting off the hook, he landed a 15.45-pound largemouth bass that was 22 inches in girth and 26.25 inches long. The fish is the seventh ShareLunker to come from Choke Canyon and weighs nearly a pound more than the previous lake record, a 14.66-pounder caught in 1991. Bookmyer was fishing in 10 feet of 53-degree water when the fish took a crankbait. "I immediately quit fishing to get the fish into the minnow tank at the Calliham Store as soon as possible," Bookmyer said http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/newsmedia/releases/?req=20090122a I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
