For those who don't know this is Rick and Paris. That is Rick's Secret Furry Bag (faux fur of course) and paris is trying to steal all of it's secrets, she kept sweet talking Rick telling him how big it was and how good it felt, you know the fish and catching it, but rick held on tight.
OK... here's the original post about that salmon of mine. Somewhere in time it changed from the 4 lbs 9 oz in my post to 4.9 lbs on the bragging board? I made the mistake of writing the weight above according to what was on the bragging board, as I honestly couldn't remember. Thanks for keeping me in line Rick. LOL
Here's the original from June 11 of last year.
"OK an email has been sent to AJ... he's going to post a different photo (which looks more realistic) of this "football" salmon. In all reality this fish was 4lbs 9ozs... but the killer... it was only 21 1/2 inches. What a fatty. He jumped many times while bringing him in and was smart enough to stay in the prop wash trying to shake the hook. I didn't see it myself, but when John netted it he said I was VERY lucky to have landed it as the hook basically fell out in the net.
We had another on earlier in the day that had to have been bigger! I never saw the fish, but will swear that I have never seen one of those "yellow rods" bend so much at a hit... and stay just as bent until it shook the hook. That fish was instantly taking line off the reel and didn't look back. AND no it wasn't bottom."
