A Fish (Carving) for the Record Books | 90,000 Fish in the Making

This brown trout woodcarving represents a lifetime of fly fishing for one amazing angler, and is certainly one for the record books.

This carving build takes you not only step-by-step of how I create these one of a kind pieces, but also tells the Story of Bill Krauss, who may just be the most successful fly fisherman in recorded history.

This beautiful brown trout marks his 90,000 fish caught on a fly rod...that's right, 90,000.

Bill began record each and every fish as a challenge way back when he was a 16-year-old high school student, and has continued on to hit these massive numbers of catch & release fish.

Here's a Field & Stream article about Bill when he reached the magical 60,000 fish mark:

I want to send a huge shout out to Bill for the amazing fly fishing career, and also want to thank everyone for coming along for this story and sharing with me your own story! Thanks for giving it a thumb's-up and subscribe. It means a lot!
