ATHENS, Texas—Every year 15 or so members of the Tie One On Bass Club near St. Louis, MO, drive 650 miles to go fishing at Lake Fork for a week.

“We always kid around about catching grandma so we can be part of the Budweiser ShareLunker program,” said Brian Siebenmorgen, a member of the club from Eureka, MO.

Kidding around turned into reality for Siebenmorgen at 11:30 a.m. March 11. Fishing in 10 feet of water with a waterdog, Siebenmorgen set the hook on what shortly became Budweiser ShareLunker No. 448. The 13.29-pound bass was 25 inches long and 20.75 inches in girth.

“I can’t believe I am a member of the ShareLunker program,” said Siebenmorgen. “It’s a great program. The fish lives on to make babies, and I’ll have a mount on my wall. Once a year we come to Texas, and we love it.”

Siebenmorgen’s fish is the 238th entry into the ShareLunker program from Lake Fork. While that body of water has produced more than half the entries, others have come from 54 other public reservoirs and more than a dozen private lakes. The Budweiser ShareLunker program is made possible through support from Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Since 1991, Anheuser-Busch, in partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, has contributed millions of dollars in funding to support conservation causes and fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation programs in Texas.
