that's fantastic man. there are a couple guys down here who fish for light tackle records on snook, jacks, etc... we have a billfish fly tournament every year. i've never fished it though. they get about 30 or so boats. it's one of the smaller tournaments. i fish all 3 world billfish series tournaments here every year. come pretty close to taking the wbs pacific rim title a few times. we've won a few of the mid range tourneys but none of the big ones yet. figure i've got another 25 years though. bound to get one eventually.The white river is in Arkansas - family there & I visit when I can. I'm usually fish as much as possible, but flyrod action in blue water here is rare to say the least.
At one time I owned the IGFA 4lb tippet record (Flyrod) for Pacific Halibut - and am thinking of giving it a go again. I've got a nice 13wt 9' / Fin nor outfit that will do nicely.
Went out today with nothing much to show other than a big smile & a buzz, but its early yet.
i grew up fly fishing in the rivers around the tri state area. mostly brookies and rainbows. few browns. couple real nice fish. don't get to do it as much anymore. still get out a few times a year when i'm back in the states but mostly i'm on my boats looking for billfish and tuna. almost feels weird now when i get the "light" tackle in my hands. lol.
