Lake Nac produces second Legacy ShareLunker of 2023 season

Lake Fork fishing guide Jack York of Emory was at Lake Nacogdoches doing some fun fishing on January 23 when he reeled in a career- best largemouth bass weighing 13.51 pounds. York, 22, subsequently put the Legacy Class lunker on loan to the Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Toyota Share-Lunker program.

Legacy Class fish are those weighing upwards of 13 pounds that are caught between January 1 and March 31. The fish are used for selective breeding and genetics research at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. It’s the second Legacy fish of the 2023 collection season to be turned in statewide. The first was a 13.52 pounder caught on January 15 at Lake O.H Ivie.
