I wish I could claim that quote as my own. Ol' Bill is quite a wordsmith.

4salt I prefer to be a legend not a legend in my own mind

I did not say I was a 10% though I may be.
I believe there will always be somebody out there that will know something I dont. You can never learn all there is to fishing just when you think you might someone will prove you wrong. There is so much water and so little time! there are general techniques that will catch fish everywhere but every piece of water holds a secret some people will say B.S but there wrong, have you been to blue creek on a bad day and have somebody walk in at 10:00 and bang out two steelies, was he tall and ugly ? Unlocking the secrets in a wider variety of waters for a wider variety of species is what will make you a 10%r.

I think in generaql I'm just above average. But if you are talking about tidewater chum salmon, I might just be in the top 5%. I had six days last November that I caught over fourty fish wile hopping around the South Sound and Hood Cannal!

I Have caught over 40 in one day. Now thats got to be some kind of a record. Yes I can repeat. No 4salt, jerry, stlhdh20. chappy, sparky, and anywone else. They were not snagged!.

40 what micro? Are you talkin' tidewater chums?

Though I get a chuckle out of most of the things that you post, I don't believe that I've ever referred to you as a snagger?

It is my humble opinion however that given the proper circumstances, legally hooking large quantities of tidewater chum isn't particularly difficult, and does not take the same amount of skill as enticing low/gin-clear water springers on a bright sunny day with lot's of angling pressure to bite! (bait that is, and NOT at the Barrier dam. )

Yes, I am talking tidwater chums. And no its not that dificult. I was replying to fishingjunk15's remark about over 40 chums in six days.

And the rest was just to cover my arse so you guys couldnt come chiming in with anti micro rhetoric By the way I do believe I forgot to add surecatch :p

Once in fishing camp

I walked down to a stocked pond and caught a trout, is was 12 inches long.

Leadthower wins, leadthrower wins :p
