Bull Black Drum on the Fly!
4 Attachment(s)
I was able to add to my list of trophy fish on the fly rod today with this giant bull black drum. I am not sure of weight because I don't have a scale that goes that high. I am guessing he was between 40 and 50 pounds. It was a blast sight casting to this monster and fighting him for 15 minutes.

WoW ! I bet that was one hell of a fight !
|
you couldve made the top 10 in the record books. #1. 54.55lbs #10. 38.00lbs

my buddy who works for Orvis emailed me last night saying the fish was at least 50 lbs. He said he has weighed them on the boga at 40, and that fish was bigger. World records are too much work to worry about, but it would have been nice to have had a boga and IFGA certified leader material. A world record would have been a nice addition to the resume.

You have the story, the pics, the memories, and can tell eveyrone that you caught one big *** fish on fly!!!!! Nobody remembers a IFGA record holder until it is researched to be broken by someone else. Just my 2 cents on a IFGA record. Congrats on a huge accomplishment sir! |

It is IGFA for anyone who is paying attention. I apologize for my dyslexia.
