O.H. Ivie Among Best Lakes for Monster Bass in 2021
ATHENS, TX – The 2021 Toyota ShareLunker collection season will go in the books as one of the best in the history of the program. Anglers landed 23 ShareLunkers at 10 different lakes across the state, the most during a January through March timespan since the 1995 season which produced 27. Five new lake records were established, four lakes made their mark on the program with a first ever entry, and milestone ShareLunker 600 was caught in this year’s group.
“This Toyota ShareLunker collection season was simply historic in so many ways, we live for seasons like this,” said Tom Lang, Director of the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. “We’re grateful that so many anglers caught their fish of a lifetime this season and then decided to share their lunker with us so we can make more of these bigger better bass for future generations of anglers.”

As the coronavirus took hold at Nash Correctional Institution early this month, 45-year-old inmate Donald Burks began to feel worrisome symptoms. He said his lungs burned, his joints ached, he had a headache, said his mother, Carol Taylor. He said it was miserable.
Burks is healthier now. But Taylor worries about what will happen if he s infected a second time. And she questions why the prison didn t lock down every unit and test each inmate after the first cases surfaced. No matter what these inmates have done, they don t deserve to be endangered like that, she said.
