Pennsylvania Angler Has Landed More Than 60,000 Trout
From The Morning Call:
Way back in 1953, angler Bill Krauss Jr. decided it would be fun to start keeping a logbook of his trout catches.
He recorded his first fish -- a 7-inch brownie from the Little Lehigh Creek in Allentown -- on April 15 and went on to catch a total of 53 trout that season.
Fifty-five years and 61,074 trout later, what began as an innocent hobby has become an all-consuming passion for the 71-year-old Lowhill Township resident.
In 1983, Krauss’ annual trout tally surpassed 1,000 for the first time, and in 1989, his total surpassed 2,000. Nowadays, Krauss considers it a disappointment if his annual catch doesn't reach a minimum of 2,500 fish.
