Dear Conflicted CornHusker, "Memories, how they linger." Don't you know women whine and "Creative Memories" and you got to do this while fishing? You have bragging rights until the next hopeful goes all in hook line and sinker. A fish would have been fileted, frozen, and consumed. Your memory of the event will live on. If there is a negative aspect to your story it is friends and aquaintances will be left speechless when they attempt to detract from the size of the fish that got away. Thanks for sharing. Loren
