laker67 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 An unwary angler had to fight for his life on saturday morning. He was fishing just west of outlet 2 when his sculpin fly was attacked by a huge cat. He landed the same big flathead that Bman caught a few weeks back. Him and his buddies were talking igfa line class record. I think I over heard him say he was using 6x. I wish him good luck in his quest for the record.
Feathers and Fins Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 LOL not suprised, I had the best day I ever had on taney yesterday morning, I found some dead shad and worked a White wolly around them on the bottom super slow and the trout were all over that. Reminded me of fishing trout in AK after the salmon spawned out and died. Managed 3 bass as well. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856

I was wondering what happened to Bob, saw him last week, but not this trip. Lucky for you Leonard, he's a beaver killing machine. Pretty soon he will have all them geese that make their nightly appearance at the top end.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 23, 2011 Root Admin Posted October 23, 2011 Line class record- isn't that catch and release only? Title of the topic is it was killed... was it?
laker67 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 Line class record- isn't that catch and release only? Title of the topic is it was killed... was it? They walked over the bank with the fish on a stringer. Don't know what happened past that point. It has been my experience that igfa is not too much on c & r. They require certified scales and a biologist to varify species. They want length, girth and lots of pictures with you and the fish and the rod you were using. They require at least one inch of your fly line and all of the leader and tippet down to and including the fly you caught the fish on. If you weigh the fish on a boga or similiar scales, you are required to send in the scales that you used. And for a fee of $25 they will certify your scales for you. Lots of paper work and lots of details. It is really hard to just qualify for the opportunity. After meeting all of the qualifications, it goes before a review board that may require more information at that time. It is a long drawn out process. My certification took almost 7 months with lots of addtional info.
Leonard Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 my understanding is that it was taken to the hatchery.. They may have the details for it http://www.taneycomonights.com
