I can picture my wife a couple weeks from now, looking in the fridge with a perplexed frown, saying "what's with the shoelaces in the jar of minced garlic??!!" "Beats me" I respond And then, as she takes a closer look "They look like pink laces... like the pink laces on my walking shoes..."  "KARL!!"

I think instead, maybe I'll try a 5" jointed Rapala behind a Ford Fender.

 I like the light spin rig you used for that beauty as well, thats my style too
 very nice job.

Thanks BOR!  Not having a net made for a really interesting fight and landing.

10# Hatchery Rainbow caught with a minnow at Lake Del Valle, Nor Cal

Not the biggest rainbow.  Just the weirdest Ive ever seen...looks like a humpy/rainbow hybrid ..

Did you catch that humpbow out of a short yellow bus?

[cobrakak76]

ha! I think it was waiting at the bus stop when my thomas buoyant came swimming by.  I was almost afraid to eat it.  I've seen Beetlejuice...I know what can happen!

[HBH]

big is a subjective term....and according to her this one was the BIGGEST! 

[demonick]

Nice.  Did she eat it?

[HBH]

not yet...waiting for the next time we break out the BBQ

[YakontheFly]

To her, it will always be a monster!

You are right, it is all relative.

I am taking some Blind people fishing in two weeks, and hope that the Bream, Crappie and Small Cats are cooperative....  To someone who has never fished, a 4" Bluegill is huge, especially when it is their first fish.

Caught a couple of piggies at Rufus, late '09; both at 25" and probably close to 10lbs.

The first was an obese monster missing huge chunks out of it's tail.

The second was a beaut.

Frankenfish... tell me you did not eat that fish. looks like what happens when the gene pool gets thin....

[kallitype]

If the FDA knuckles under (as expected) and allows marketing of the FrankenNook, that's what a 40# nookie will look like.  And probably
taste like fish pellets.....or cat food.
