Title: New Trout Strain??
Post by: fshnfool on Feb 13, 2007, 12:49 PM
  friend of mine went to NH this weekend and helped another buddy bring his shack out onto Winni.  while they were there, they landed a 12" cusk.  Of course the Rotary Derby was in full swing, so the local newspaper had a reporter travelling the lake, taking pictures and asking questions about what people were catching and such. 

Well, needless to say, he showed up at my buddy's shack and there lied the cusk on the ice....he proceeded to take a picture of him holding the cusk in the air and asked him if he knew what kind of fish it was....... ???

"One Eyed Trouser Trout" was my buddy's reply (you gotta know Sonny....wouldn't expect any other answer outta this guys mouth).....so then next morning, in the local newspaper, was a picture of this guy, holding up a fish.....and yep.....that's what that reporter listed it as......a one eyed trouser trout.... :roflmao:

according to the friend that lives there......the guys on The Morning Buzz.....a local radio station from NH, had quite the conversation on Monday mornings radio show... ;D  blasting the newspaper reporter for being so gullible

I still can't stop laughing about it..... :tipup:
