Jace D Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 These big trout eating slimeball trash fish are a disappointment to most swimbait fisherman that I know, including myself. But, I figure if I’m gonna catch big ones I might as well see if I can get the world record. The current WR is 11-0 by none other than Matt Allen of Tactical Bassin. Between my brother and I, we’ve caught a lot of squawfish that eclipse the 11 lb. mark but never cared enough about the record. We decided maybe we should just go ahead and submit this one that I caught today just for fun and see what happens. Should beat the previous mark by close to 2 lbs. if it’s accepted. basskickinrednick, GreenPig, Fast_Bassin and 25 others 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have those out here in New England They fight really hard at first. Harder than a bass but they usually give up about halfway to the boat. It’s weird. But they bite a swimbait just like a bass. They’re trout eaters. CaliBassin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
