In a groundbreaking public/private partnership, Gulf States Toyota has provided millions in funding to TPWD to promote bass fishing and increase the participation of youth and families in freshwater fishing. Contributions included the creation and promotion of the Toyota Texas Bass Classic (TTBC)/Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest, a professional bass fishing tournament that emphasized best practices for fishing conservation. First held at Lake Fork in 2007, TTBC was the first tournament to implement the catch-weigh-and-immediate-release concept. Initiatives funded by proceeds from the event include the Neighborhood Fishin' Program and the Fish Art Contest. Gulf States Toyota has also provided significant funding to support the Toyota ShareLunker Program. 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. #texasfishing #fishing
