A well deserved Record Catch! - 11/18/16 04:47 PM
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Louis Almaraz who lives in the Nueces Canyon! I met Louis back in July who was sitting under a tree by the Nueces River. He was reading his mail. Louis shared with me information which paid off on the Nueces River and other water bodies in the Nueces Canyon. Louis at the time had never fished freshwater and only had fished salt water. Louis rigged up some poles that he had and started fishing with me over the past months. He has become a very good friend of mine. This past week while fishing the Camp Wood Creek in Real County Louis caught a very nice TROPHY RIO that was 9.10" in length. Photos of the fish were taken and the records application was completed and sent to the Texas Parks&Wildlife for the Rio Grande Cichlid Catch&Release Record for the Camp Wood Creek. Louis lost a bigger Rio that was 10 plus inches earlier. Louis knowledge of the Canyon is remarkable and his neighbors have the up most respect for this man. Meeting and making friends with a man like Louis in simply a honor! To me this is what fishing is all about. Meeting GREAT people while fishing. It just don't get any better!
