I was fishing for Dollies with a few buddies on a local river, and while retreiving the 5 inch or so grey holographic rapala I got a massive hit. I barely had time to set the hook before a 40+ lb king jumped out of the water ten feet in front of me. This fish was legally hooked and gave a awsome fight on 8lb line, but threw the hook eventualy due to such small hook size. Just thought everyone might find this interesting. And a heads up, because you never know what you might hook into out there.

Like they say, a good lure is a good lure, no matter where you fish it...

I lent a 7" green and blue Magnum Rapala and a couple of other lures (hootchies, tuna jigs, etc.) to a co-worker that went on a 14 day boat surf trip in Indonesia... he came back with this photo, they caught this one on the Rapala.
