Potential IGFA world record splake taken in UtahCaptain Steve Henline is a man of many talents, the most renown of which is his dedication to the art and craft of fishing. Steve has been fishing ever since he was a young boy, building a career spanning 60 years. He is a Coast Guard captain, operates charter boats from Anchorage to Zihuatanejo, MX, a licensed guide and outfitter, and IGFA world and state record holder. He has written numerous blog posts, frequented fishing forums, and created an impressive catalogue of fishing videos during this time. Having spent the majority of his years in Utah Valley, I think it's safe to say that Steve knows the local Utah Lake fishing more than most others. This summer, Steve was contracted to create a series of fishing logs of his time on Utah Lake, detailing what fish were biting and the best spots to frequent. At the end of these logs, Steve reminds us to 'Take a Kid Fishing' - a message that speaks to us and tells us to share the joy we experience in our hobbies with the younger generations, in order to foster their interests and nurture their creative growth. This week we are highlighting these fishing logs, starting with his most recent: an enthralling tale of an attempt at a world record.
