Success on the Spokane.
« on: February 28, 2009, 11:17:01 PM »
Caught this beast today on the Spokane River.  Measured 20" and weighed in at 3 lbs 4 oz.  It's a personal best.

Nice!  Just don't eat it.  It has as much lead in it as a tire weight if it came from the Spokane.

Thanks for the warning.  I let it go.

Just curious, how do you know?

Also, lead is way over rated as something harmful.  Just like almost all toxic substances, it is not nearly as dangerous as the hype suggests.

No.  I caught it casting with a slow retrieve up near Buoy 5.

There are health warning signs on the Spokane telling you to limit fish consumption.  Heavy metals from
the mining in Idaho make the fish in the Spokane a bit iffy to eat.  I'm sure you could eat some but if you lived
just off of fish from the river you'd eventually get sick....probably when you were 106 or older. :chuckle:
