The best book ever written on big trout

[Bentup]

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
