Okay, it's easier to tell the truth than answer all those damn questions. It was a 30 cm corn eyed brown trout, caught on bait, in the sewage treatment plant, by I-5 in Everett.

There, now I feel better. That was the first lie I ever told, and I hated it. I will never do that again. blush

I'd feel better too after a 30 cm brown trout release, probably go down a pant size too rofl

....I need to know, I want a thirty pound fish too.


I'll answer for Dave, since I was there with FogDucker and we saw it. But Dave didn't see us.
(Dave, please forgive me 8^) )

The camera was a Nokon D90, engineered to unleash the artistry.

The raincoat was a Samm's 1120-D-30-S, bioengineered to allow all bad vapours away while protecting the spleen.

The hands were washed before and after with banana scented Joy, and dried with a special anise scented rag. Special No-nitri-lat-non allergenic gloves were used.

The vest was a Columloomiredimms D180 Special Professional Steelheader vest.

He doesn't know the hook.

He wasn't wearing a hat since it wasn't raining.

Datsun 210.

Willie!

License always in posession.

What were the other questions?

Dave "not Dave"

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

No corn was harmed in the catching of that fish.

I've walked up and down Tokul creek and seeing how shallow it is right now, a 30 LB steelhead would stick out like looking at a 10 LB steelhead in a kiddy pool.

I recognize that fish from the picture as the same one I released the day before.
