A little reading for you flyfishing types, world record drum fishing in Louisiana. I seem to recall @Ham catching a similar duo of fish last winter 😉

My fish would have been a World Record on 12 pound tippet. Lol, I didn’t set the tippet or have any dreams of such silliness. I think I could have easily caught my fish on 12 lb tippet. Honestly, I thought talk of 30 lbers was Hyperbole and not realistic. 
My Buddy Tom booked a bunch of days this year and Got really Good weather a few days and just caught em and caught em. One day was All Topwater eats. 

I doubt I’ll ever catch another one like my Big Bull, but I caught that one.

Was that a fly rod catch?    That’s a donkey!

..I believe it says on 7x...I’d give the guide/boat operator props on that.

Yes Sir On Fly with a visual eat. It was ehhhh Very Memorable. I saw it rush forward and engulf the streamer as it headed right at the boat. I strip set hard, but because the fish rocketed straight at the boat boat For  a split second, I felt nothing and thought I had failed to get a hookset. Really excited when everything pulled tight. 
Kevin MorLock was the Guide. Look for Indigo Guide Service. He and his partner also guided us for Big Carp on fly in Michigan. I think they also guide for a Steelhead Run in the UP.

I'm headed to Myrtle Beach in April.  Still haven't booked a guide yet but I will.  On a brief search nobody stood out but I just started.
