I'm afraid that if I hooked one of those on my rod and reel, it would pull me into the damn lake!

You'd need a tub of tarter sauce from Costco for that
thing!

This is where a BM is used as a filet knife!!!!

Exactly Jack! I think this is where one of Idaho's swords would come in handy!

Cheers,

I've heard we get them that big here in North America also, but I haven't seen one personally. We were vacationing at an extensive lake in Virginia and went to the main dam for a tour. The dam tour guide

said that the lake was 330' deep at the dam and that they had to send divers down to periodically do some kind of visual inspections. They said that at one time the divers wanted to go down in cages because of the enormous catfish that they had seen in the deep parts of the lake. Maybe she was just pulling my leg, I can be gullible sometimes.

Nobody,
That wouldn't have been Smith Mountain Lake, would it??

Yep! Beautiful place. Used to go there lots as a kid. I had a great aunt and uncle who owned a place on the lake back then.

What a cool place the net is... From my fornt porch I can lob arrows from a stick bow into Smith Mtn. Lake. I live on the Bedford County side in Goodview. I used to roam the water as a teen but haven't been in it in years.
