Sea Trout monsters in Corpus Christi Texas

28 January 2023

Capt. Chris Shindledecker is on the MONSTER SPECKLED TROUT!!!

Capt. Chris says, “Biggest Trout by far I’ve ever laid my eyes on! I saw this fish earlier in the week while scouting and couldn’t believe my eyes. Today I took some customers there to fish and sure enough she was still there. A moment the angler and I will never forget. Unfortunately she was hooked deep and wasn’t going to make it back in the water. The angler is going to have a very special place for her on the wall. Happy Happy Clients!!!

Texas’s state record spotted sea trout weighs in at 15-pound 6-ounce trout caught on the fly by Carl “Bud” Rowland of McAllen, TX. Rowland caught the 37 1/4-inch Lower Laguna Madre speck in May 2002, while sightcasting from his boat near a spoil bank a short ride from his part-time Port Isabel home using a Fly rod/reel setup. This beat out Houston angler Jim Wallace’s 13-pound 11-ounce Baffin Bay trout, which held the state’s top spot since 1996, is officially Number Two.
