I was out for six hours in the freezing cold in a sinking boat with no oars and caught the last one in the lake with nothing but three pound test and no hook. I was out of bait and had to spit on the line. I pried out one of my molar fillings for the sinker and when it bit, I gave a mighty pull and it sailed right off the bottom and into my boat where I caught it with my bare, frozen hands, and it was THIS big.
Swear on my mother in law's grave. She's not dead, but it can be arranged.
