This was acquired from the Estate Sale of a former corporate member of Creek Chub Bait Co.


Extremely Rare! These never come up for sale.


This is Howard Ballentine’s internal file from 1956 for his massive 10lb 6oz and 10 4oz trout he caught in Cocoa Florida.


Howard sent in 1 photo. (You have to see it to believe it! Fantastic photo!) The back is Autographed by Howard and he also wrote when and where he caught them and how big the trout were.


This story circulated in the local newspaper, consumer magazines and was even talked about on the local radio station by the mayor of Cocoa, Florida!


Amazing story!


Also in the file:

-Original File Folder

-Internal Letters sent to the president of Creek Chub and Howard.


Great find!

Nice one-of-a-kind piece of Creek Chub history.


If you have any questions, just ask!


(I used really intense watermarks, because none of these photos or papers are anywhere online. You will be the sole owner of these items. I did not make any copies. I will leave it up to you if you’d like to share the story with the world.)


Thanks!
