Lake Fork fishing guide Mark Stevenson is arguably the most famous angler in Texas due to his catch of Ethel, a 17.67-pound largemouth bass that broke the previous state record and became the first entry into the ShareLunker program. Ethel lived out the rest of her life at the flagship Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, Missouri, where she fueled a growing national interest in bass fishing and the conservation of fish through catch-and-release. In addition to guiding paying clients, Mark donated trips to many worthy causes benefiting youth, veterans and TPWD projects such as construction of the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center.
Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame seeks to recognize and honor those who have made a lasting contribution to freshwater fishing in Texas and to foster awareness and appreciation of and participation in the sport of fishing.
