This just in from my friend Larry Hodge, of TPWD in Athens, Texas.
"Jason Baird of Gypsum, Kansas, caught Budweiser ShareLunker No. 400 from Lake Amistad about noon on Tuesday, February 28.
The 13.1-pound fish will be worth $5,240 in cash in addition to other prizes to be awarded to Baird.
Baird's catch followed by less than a week the catching of ShareLunker No. 399 by Kurt Wade of Arlington, Texas, who was fishing in Mill Creek Reservoir.
Baird's fish arrived at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center at 7:15 a.m. Wednesday following an all-night trip to Lake Amistad, on the border between Texas and Mexico outside Del Rio, Texas.
Complete details will follow shortly."
