Pending Gizzard Shad State Record on the Fly - 07/22/21 12:37 AM
I have fished thousands of hours and this is my first big gizzard shad on a fly; and it was a good one. The fish grabbed my carp slayer fly on the surface. I could replicate the situation hundreds of times without getting the timing just right to hook the fish, but I will take it. The shad was 13.75” long and weighed 0.98 pounds. Texas has a great diversity of species.
