Taking it to the Bank
On February 5, musician Willie Pipkin of Dripping Springs was fishing from the shores of Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin when he hooked and landed a 14.05-pound largemouth bass that is a new water body record for the 468-acre reservoir. Pipkin subsequently loaned the fish to Toyota ShareLunker program. (Courtesy Photo Willie Pipkin)

Taking it to the Bank

Anyone who likes a good ol’ fashioned big fish story is sure to love the tale behind the Lady Bird Lunker. There is no mention of forward-facing sonar or other high-tech devices in this deal. Just a friendly fisherman who plays the guitar and grew up shagging grasshoppers to use as bait for dunking in Hill Country stock tanks.
