133, rumors and fish stories
Posted by swimbait, Thu Jul-05-01 07:47 PM
Heard some good ones recently through the grapevine.

The first one was from Canada and is definitely for real as it was reported on the news. A guy caught an 88lb Lake Trout on a flatfish and released it. Apparently it was his first time fishing although he was a guide. Biologists estimated the fish to be over 100 years old. That's pretty cool, I still haven't hunted down a pic yet.

The other good rumor I heard was a supposed 82lb striper out of San Luis Resiviour. Now that sounds like a tall tale to me but ... the state record I think came out of Oneil Forebay and was in the 60lb range. So anything is possible.

Just stirring the gossip pot :-)
