ShareLunker Program Still Accepting Entries
Summer heat makes fishing a challenge, but anglers are still reeling in ShareLunkers. Almost 400 trophy-sized largemouth bass have been verified since the program launched January 1. Major tournaments start up in September and we expect to see more activity as the weather starts to cool. Anglers can use an online form or free mobile app to enter largemouth bass of at least 8 lbs. or 24 inches. Entries will be accepted through December 31. Anglers who submit verified catches will be eligible for end-of-season prize drawings. Visit Toyota ShareLunker. Download the App. Before heading to the lake, download the free ShareLunker app to your phone so you'll be ready to enter your lunker catch and stay up–to–date with the program. Available for iOS and Android devices. |
