presents the first swimbait film ever done outside of the West. Southern Trout Eaters documents the trophy bass fishing that is happening around the trout fed lakes of the Appalachian Mountains of Georgia and the Carolinas.
The crew spent the fall of 2009 thru the fall of 2010 compiling a year of swimbait fishing. The film is 2 hours and 41 minutes long and explores all sorts of swimbait fishing discussions and what opportunities are out there for trophy fishing in the South, MidWest and East. They collectively have over an hour and a half of Huddleston Deluxe footage alone, including an interview and input from Ken Huddleston. Besides an absolute trove of information and examples of how to catch Huddleston Deluxe fish in the Appalachian Mountains, the film explores hardbait fishing with the Triple Trout, MS Slammer, and Nezumaa Rat. As spring turns into summer and summer back to fall, the film takes a turn into Arkansas, and documents first attempts at chasing the trout eaters in the Arkansas Ozarks. The Triple Trout, MS Slammer and Huddleston Deluxe all show they can catch swimbait fish from coast to coast. The film also features the Big Hammer and Bull Shad swimbaits. Narration, thought provoking interviews and input from the folks who matter.
This film is for folks who’ve never thrown a swimbait and for the folks who only throw swimbaits. Anglers from any part of the country will value this film because it validates that swimbait fishing isn’t just a West Coast thing, and that there is still many untapped trophy fishing waters yet to be explored.
