Guest Warren Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm glad they returned him to the water , a fish that big deserves to live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 great story. i've heard of some sort of salmonoid fish that grows that big and more in the lakes in mongolia that is apparently brilliant to catch, on fly as well as baits/lures etc. wonder how closely related?

BlackFriar Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've been there! You DO NOT want to know the stories about what the Bathists fed those fish to get so huge! There are parts of that lake where the beasts will congregate right alongside the villas. dblones can tell you about it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
