Sorry for the delay, had to wait putting this out on social media.

After Thanksgiving I jumped in my truck & went to mow my lot in Rockport. Figured while I was down there I would convince a friend of my to go make a few wades the following day.

He decided we needed to go to Baffin. After a lazy start & a good breakfast, we had the boat in the water about 10:00 am. About 1/2 way across the bay the weather changed & started pumping out of the Southwest. We decided to try anyway. 1st spot we waded throwing Corkies, Soft Dines, Grass Walkers, & various tails. I finally caught the 1st fish, a 21" Redfish. We decided to move & try another spot. After following sporadic bait & trying different approaches we ended up about 300 yards apart & 500 yards from the boat. I kept getting very light hits near one spot with a larger mullet doing the gettaway dance. Finally a solid hit & good hook set, # 2 fish on, drag started ripping & peeling off of my spool, oh ya good fish on. After a good couple more long runs, I was able to get the fish close enough to see what it was, TROUT, BIIIIG GURL. I motioned for my friend to come out to me for pictures. The fish circled me several more times & was finally able to get the Boga Grip applied. My friend walks up & see's her in the water & says she is over 30". We get a couple sets of pictures & put her back in the water, we the get a measurement on his rod. I was able to get her back in the water quick for a good healthy release.

After we were able to put the tape measure to his rod we learned she was just over 32" w/o a tail pinch.

Now I need a good Taxi to do a replica mount.

Congrats on the giant fish.



Going to run my boat with the reworked prop in the morning. I will probably throw a rod in the boat just in case if any one wants to jump in and burn a little gasoline?

Should be at the harbor 7ish in the morning. Plan to stay in the river to stay out of the wind as much as possible.

Do you think the river will be fishable with the rain we've had?

Probably not, but it should be protected. This is more of a performance trip than a fishing trip, I’d just hate to not have a rod and reel with me.

Hollywood, that has got to be the biggest, yet skinniest trout I've seen in a looooong time!! Congratulations on the catch!
