Remember Kent,
That fisherman don't lie [
] - they stretch the truth. I remember the first time I hit a big jackpot in Wendover and somehow telling the story the 670 quarter jackpot turn into a 670 dollar jackpot. Sure sounded better...
As for the 4 Ib. test line - who fishes for muskie with 4 Ib. test line??? You would have to use a steel leader, be fishing in a boat, and have 2 hours of fighting time to get him worn out. Somehow maybe a little stretching occurred.
But I did see the picture - it was a BIG fish.
Onto another topic.. My brother went up to the gorge Friday and Saturday - he caught plenty of the 18" to 22" kokanees and got the line on trolling for the mackinaw. He ran into a boat with three guys who put over 100 macks in the boat in 3 days. Most in the 15 to 20 Ib. range but did catch a 33# and 35#. My brother got the inside technique and will try it in the next few weeks. Will let you know the results when they are validated.
Have a good WET day... Lundman
