American Legacy Fishing – Braggin’ Board | April 28, 2013

We’ve been telling you the fish are biting like crazy and they’re B-I-G. Thanks to Dave Osborne (above) fishing with our manager Adam Daywalt for proving the point on Guntersville Lake in Alabama about a week ago! 

Mike Lapiana says this picture sums up his 3 favorites. G. Loomis, big crappie, and…and..well, you can figure out the third! 

Beaver Lake around Sammamish, Washington produced this gorgeous rainbow trout for Irvin lert. Beautiful catch! 

Australian customer Phil Henricks’ very first fish caught on his new Loomis rod from American Legacy was this monster that went 127 cm and over 30 kilos (66+ lb). Heck of a way to break in a new rod! 

Our great friend Danny Effinger holds just 2 of over 30 slab crappie caught recently on Kentucky Lake. These babies went 2 lb+ each!  

Uncle Mike Lapiana took nephew Lorenzo Infelise on his very first fishing trip and this nice bass was the result. Well done, Lorenzo! 

Stephen Johnson says South Carolina has some nice bass and sends us this picture as proof. We’re convinced!  

Bob Daly is a world class fisherman and he finally shared with us the secret to his fishing success. See for yourself. This picture is from La Zona where Bob and friends caught some huge golden dorado. And you need fuel…. 

We’re telling you the fishing is fantastic this year and thanks to Paul Paolozzi we have proof with this very large bass. Bravo! 

Pro guide Ken Kastorff (www.endlessriveradventures.com) shows off some of his fishing and guiding prowess with this fantastic 28″, 13-15 lb brown trout caught in the Nantahala River in North Carolina. Ken released this brute but knows where plenty more are. Just drop him a note at [email protected] 

Our great friend Kevin Reeder says this is a small largemouth from Lake Fork in Texas. We think Kevin’s getting a bit cocky since he retired! 

Using a G. Loomis GL2 861 TJR rod friend Jason Bugg caught many crappie recently, but this 2 lb, 5 oz bad boy was his favorite. We guess so! 

No doubt he golden dorado is the world’s toughest freshwater fish bar none. Yet Bob Daly continues his pursuit and on his latest trip (a week ago) he managed several that were over 50+. Thrill of a lifetime! 

This Brazilian tambaqui was Artur Salqueiro’s inaugural fish caught on his brand new Shimano Chronarch from ALFC. Fortunately his children saw Artur land this monster! 

We’re quickly becoming convinced that Philippe Neuville can’t catch a small fish! Here’s proof with his 40″, 26 lb pike caught recently in Belgium. Fantastic! 

This is what any dedicated fisherman like to see – catch and release. This huge 19″ perch was released by Philippe Neuville to fight another day. Well done, Philippe, well done! 

Thanks to Aleksandr Martynov for this closing picture from Volhov around the Kerest River. As we’ve said many times, this is why we fish!  

Please, folks, send us some of your pictures. We’re not after trophies, just pictures of fish you’re proud of. It’s easy. Just attached them to an email and send them to us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to get them in the newsletter. Send them in to us!
