Thanks for the welcome to "Salty Cajun". As a fellow trout fisherman, I'm excited to share the news with Louisiana fishermen about my new book, "World Class Texas Trout Tomorrow...With Best of the Best Fishers" by L. Scott Murray. I wanted to let you know that the book is available from my website at www.topwaterpublishing.com and from a number of retail locations as well. If you would like for me to personalize your book, please order directly from my web site only. Here are a few highlights and photos of the contents or you can go to my website for much more information about the book. > Classic stories and photos from 34 of the best of the best Texas Trout Fishermen, including how when and where they caught their "personal best" monster trout. > Relevant scientific research and information on trout that helps us to become better fishermen. > Conservation measures and practices that we can all use to build a world class trout fishery. To order my 265 page book, go to www.topwaterpublishing.com .

Hey Scott: Do you possibly have pitures 2 and 3 reversed?
|
Bet that middle one was a hoot on that fly rod.

Blackwood on top. Rowland on right and Wallace on the bottom. Most of us do not recognize Bud Rowland as holding the current record. The fish was released after she was photographed. Two others fishing nearby witnessed the weight on a boga, and verified it to authorities. To this day I still can not believe it. Would you release the state record??? Jim Wallace still holds the record in my book. It came on a Glow Colored Corky...
|
I agree who lets a state record go....and why and how can it be certified by a witness??? I can catch a 9lb trout call it 12lb have 4 buddies say they saw the weight and let it go....
And then I could hold the la state record???? In my eyes that record don't count |

I doubt I'd release a 15+ lb. trout even if it weren't a record.
This isn't any different than the dude that holds the world record (17 lbs. 7 oz.) It was caught on the east coast of Florida. He and his dad were fishing when he landed it. They both thought it was a snook. :eek: They took it to a local store that had meat scales to "weight" it. When they were told it was a trout and that he had landed the world record....they used witnesses that (supposedly) saw the fish on the scales, took plenty of pics and it was certified. Luckily, the scales were "certified" scales. Here's the killer, tho...they ate the fish. :help: |
Suit up! Let's go fishing!

Looks like office feesherman fare well in Texas! Must be an Old Simms suit ;)

Bud Rowland's TX Record
As a long time TX trophy trout fisherman, I must admit that over the years, I too had serious doubts about Rowland's TX Record. The tough part for me was that the state always required the fish to be brought in and weighed on a certified scale and witnessed as well. As you know this fish changed all that because it was released after being weighed on a personal IGFA certified scale and witnessed in the field by a couple of nearby fishermen. With all that said, after spending considerable time personally interviewing Bud Roland, I am convinced that his story and his fish are on the mark and factual. Rowland is in his 70's and he still fishes hard 3 days a week in the best big trout country the state has to offer, the Lower Laguna Madre. He documented a ton of giant trout that he has CPR'D and he holds several other IGFA Records including two other trout over 10 lbs on a flyrod. In my book, he is the real deal. Get his stories and more in my new book at www.topwaterpublishing.com. Thanks for your comments, Bentup

I have to say I really enjoyed this book. Reading fellow big trout fisherman speak about the evolution in their respective estuary is interesting. Also each Angler mentioned in the book gives a detailed discreption of their personal best trout. I enjoy hearing the syles and techniques they use and think of ways to apply those techniques in our estuary. I will never stop learning about big sows and learning from seasoned anglers in this book only helps---
