Budweiser Sharelunker No. 400 Comes From Lake Amistad

Summary: ATHENS, Texas — And the winner is ... Jason Baird of Gypsum, Kansas Lands 13.1-pound Bass Worth $5,240. Fishing the Castle Canyon area of Lake Amistad about noon Tuesday, Baird and guide Ray Hanselman, Jr., spotted a big bass on her bed. After 45 tension-filled minutes during which the big bass darted at the Smallie Beaver creature bait in the White Trash pattern at least 15 times without taking it, she finally bit. Thinking the bass weighed perhaps 8 or 9 pounds, Baird was going to lip it until it came to the boat and they realized it was much bigger. Hanselman then handed Baird a net so he could land the fish, which was 26 inches long and 21 inches around. “This was my second time to fish Lake Amistad, and I’d never sight fished before,” Baird said. “Amistad is awesome. There were so many big fish on beds in there.”
