Just a reminder...if you decide you want to do some serious fishing, this is a great time of the year for it here in Arkansas.
I know you guys in New York and Colorado and Montana think you have some trout fishing, but you haven't seen big fish until you come here.
Our state record for German Browns keeps getting bumped up. Now it is over 40 pounds. You read that right...40 pounds of the meanest hook nose Browns you have ever seen.
Rainbows? Five to seven pounders are commonplace in the catch and release areas. The state record? A little over 19 pounds.
Striped bass? 50+ pounds.
Walleye have been introduced not too long ago, and they seem to like the long growing season. Even though the fishing pressure on walleye is minimal compared to other species, there have been some big walleye taken. Our World Line-Class Record for 4# test is just over 19 pounds. When I walleye fished in Canada, they couldn't believe the size of our fish...it takes ten times as long to grow them up there. Our world record walleye is just under 23 pounds.
So, if you want sport fishing at its finest, and a chance to land a world record fish, come on down to Arkansas. Once you get here, you'll find that food, lodging, guide service and most anything else you need is a fraction of the price you'll pay at the famous fishing destinations.
I'm not working for the guys at Game & Fish or Parks and Tourism, it's just that it's late and this is what popped into my head. Hope to see you here.
