Here is a small article I just ran across on the CCA Facebook feed. Should be the next world record once it's approved. Here is article and picture.
Indian River, Florida trout a possible world record! Luke Ledbetter caught and RELEASED this monster taping out at 34.25 inches (87 cm). The IGFA's record for length currently stands at 79 cm. Pending approval, Ledbetter's fish will be recognized by the IGFA's new All-Tackle Length record program, which awards catches based on length rather than weight and requires that fish be released alive and in good health.
They did not weigh it, but Deeks estimates the trout weighed about 14lbs. "The largest trout I've ever weighed was a 33" trout that was 13.9lbs, but this one was even fatter," Deeks said. "But I hate weighing them, hate hanging them by the jaw. They're really sensitive fish."
