Nearly two years to the day after reeling in ShareLunker 641 from Lake Alan Henry, angler Ross Gomez caught a 14.78-pound bass only to discover it was the same fish.
Gomez, of Post, caught the fish in the same location and again entered it into the Toyota Share-Lunker program, this time as ShareLunker 674. He first caught the fish, then recorded as ShareLunker 641, on Feb. 10, 2023.
“I was actually standing in the same exact spot on the dock that I caught the first fish,” said Gomez. “I had a little paddletail swim shad type bait and said you know what, I’m just going to toss this thing and let it sink deep. I threw it three or four times and she hit the bait. I figured it was something good and when she started taking line, I knew it was a big fish. I had a fivefoot pole with a small reel and eight-pound test line, and the pressure was mounting so I started adjusting the drag. I just kept working her and eventually she tired out and I was able to bring her up.”
