30.7" tip length, 28.25" fork length Bull trout. Potential future IGFA submission, and if approved hopefully 1/2 times I step up the benchmark for my all tackle length in 2026! The grind is far from over...

Officially a 2× world record holder! A dream come true honestly. Now all I have to do is beat my own records this spring, because honestly, both those fish were a lot shorter than my actual personal bests. Still, this is 100% the biggest achievement in angling of my life so far. Tight lines, I have many more records in mind outside of bulls!!!!
