FISHING HALL OF FAME, 2: Nominate someone for 
induction into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. 
We tell you how, ahead, on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Induction into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame 
doesn't involve reeling in big fish.

07 -- Correct. It is a way to honor people who have given back to the 
sport of freshwater fishing.


 
Center spokesperson, Larry Hodge, says achievement in 
conservation, charity work and innovation makes judges 
take notice of worthy nominees.
 
15 -- Those folks don't always get a lot of recognition. So, it was felt that 
establishing a freshwater fishing hall of fame would be a way to 
recognize deserving individuals who have made a contribution to 
freshwater fishing in Texas.


Any Texas-based individual or organization is eligible for 
nomination. Find criteria and forms on the Texas Parks 
and Wildlife Website. Hodge adds the more detailed 
nominators are, the better their candidate's chances. 

19 -- The committee of 12 that goes through the nominations and 
actually selects the person or organization for induction, may not 
know anything about that particular nominee. So, we encourage 
people to do some research, provide as much information as they can, 
and tell us that person's story.

Submit nominations through November 1, 2014. There's 
additional information about the Texas Freshwater 
Fishing Hall of Fame, and what the inductee receives, on 
the TPW website.

The WSFR program supports our series ... and receives 
funds from your purchase of fishing and hunting 
equipment and motor boat fuel.

For Texas Parks and Wildlife, I'm Cecilia Nasti.
