Salmon Winner
Fred from Dresden Ohio got 21.4 lb 40.5 inch salmon
on 10-7-09 in white water at Tippy Dam on Big Manistee River using finger
hook. Took him 20 minute fight to bring him in and 4 tries with the net
man. He got lucky to win contest but more luck was that the net man didn't
knock the fish off his line. As it happens more times then we like to admit.
Netting fish is a trick by it's self so most guys try to beach fish first.
