Bull, 82, holds the all-tackle record for lake trout with a 72-pound, 4-ounce fish taken in Canada’s Great Bear Lake in 1995. Most all-tackle records are 95-percent luck, but Bull was specifically fishing for giant trout with a tactic he devised, one that has produced countless lakers more than 30 pounds and about two dozen more than 50 pounds. In fact, he landed nine other record fish on his way to the current International Game Fish Association all-tackle record. That was nice, but I was hoping for a lot bigger fish,” says Bull, who has gone to the lake each summer for the past 41 years.
