O.H. Ivie Reservoir was impounded on the Colorado and Concho rivers in 1990 and then stocked with Florida-strain largemouth bass. The 19,000-acre reservoir is located about 55 miles east of San Angelo, Texas.
As you can see in the photos below, the lake has recently been on fire for trophy largemouth bass. The pics and captions shown are from the Toyota ShareLunker program Facebook page.
Not familiar with the Toyota ShareLunker program in Texas? Here’s a bit of history.
Since 1986, the Texas Parks & Wildlife’s Toyota ShareLunker program (www.texassharelunker.com) has worked with anglers to promote and enhance bass fishing in Texas. Each season (January 1 through December 31), anglers can partner with ShareLunker and be recognized for their achievement and contributions all year long.

For an in-depth look into the program, check out the 16-minute video below that details a monster fish from Lake Fork and how it was returned to the water after assisting Texas Parks & Wildlife biologists with its ShareLunker program.
