Capt Kirk Kirkland and I took the sweep of all 7 tippet IGFA world records (from a 9.5lbs fish on 2lbs on up to the 20lbs class) for the Smallmouth Buffalo. Caught on the Trinity River near the Livingston Dam all on the "Carp Crack" fly. Orange was the most popular. (The brown and black that worked as well, stripping very long and slow) #igfaworldrecords #kirkkirkland @smithoptics @abelreels @romaboots @patagoniaflyfish
