Fuzzyfisher! That makes me laugh. That's exactly what I had this fish on, a 4 inch pepper glow jig with a whole minnow! This is the kind of fishing tale that old men sit around at the local bait shop and tell eachother:
"They call it ol' hookjaw. Its the biggest tiger trout in Pali
e. Some people say it can't be caught, and that's its protected by a spiritual force. Others say it was sent there to take vengeance and torment fishermen. Many men have tried to catch him. A few have been lucky enough to hook him. Or should I say, unlucky enough, for in reality the fish knows its invincible and enjoys hearing the frustrated cursing of fishermen when it throws the hook or snaps the line and swims off free. Still, some try to catch him, and others have vowed to bring him in no matter the cost. A few have said that its weakness, its achilles heel, is a 4 inch tube jig with a whole minnow."
