Budweiser ShareLunker off a

ATHENS, Texas—


Saturday evening Pamela Plummer of Fort Worth was fishing in seven feet of water off a dock on Lake Fork when her ZOOM watermelon red plastic worm got hung up in some vegetation—or so she thought.

“Then my pole bent, and I realized I had a fish,” she said. “It jumped and I realized I had a big fish. It jumped three times before I got it in. My husband almost had a heart attack.”

Plummer’s fish weighed 13.11 pounds and was 25.5 inches long and 22 inches in girth.

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.
