Been gone for a bit, but here’s the update: I currently have 2 world records pending, officially submitted and under review with International Game Fish Association! These records are for all tackle length junior and for all tackle length with 2 bull trout. Many big bulls from the season, but these two were my submission choices. As I previously said I was stepping away to chase some personal goals, and I can proudly say I am happy with what I accomplished. Glad to be back, tight lines!
