Post by: MuleySniper on August 19, 2010, 10:08:22 AM: Sorry not trying to be a dick. Ive fished Pt. Defiance for over 13 years. A ton. Ive fished with Tom hundreds of times, salmon and steelhead all over this state. He's the checker Im sure you are referring to. Im not losing any sleep. If I do it will be from all the fish that I caught calling twelve or thirteen that could have been twenties or bigger over the years. :) Ive seen LOTS of guys down there over weighing thier catch, its not uncommon. Not like I was lo balling ya, 15, 20 heck whatever. Nice fish!

Post by: SeaRun1 on August 20, 2010, 02:06:47 PM: This year its a nice fish. Fishing isn't a competition so don't get worked up about others saying your fish was a different weight. Thats what we do to each other, its just hazing. My steelhead and salmon tend to grow after I catch them and many a 17 or 18 has magically made the twenty mark. Thats why I don't take pics anymore! ;)
