Anyway, the hook and sinker were removed and the fish returned to the water much happier, I'm sure.

One of my fishing buddies, Ron Hobbs, called me last night to give me a fishing report on his trip to Lake Tapps the day before I went out. In the conversation he said he broke off a big fish he never got to see out on the ridge across from the boat launch. That got my attention. So I asked him what size hook he was using...No. 4...check...Sinker? 3/16th oz snap on...check. Line? 4 lb test....It was very light line so, check and double check. I caught the fish he had broken off the day before. And when he had called, my fishing report hadn't been posted yet. And on top of that, Ron is one of those rare characters who doesn't even own a computer. Crazy!
