Talk about winning a tournament

[scavengerj]

I got this out of the paper a couple of years ago....
A little goes a long way.....
OSLO, Norway - A Norwegian won more then $900 in a fishing contest for pulling in two fish that weighed a total of 0.12 ounces.
 Jan Petter Johansen was among 66 fishermen in the first ever ice-fishing contest near Skjervoey, in northern Norway, Sunday. No one caught anything except Johansen, who noticed two sticklebacks caught in some seaweed he pulled up.
 He got first prize and $770, for his monster 0.07 ouncer. Second place, and $154, was awarded for his 0.05 ouncer.

 "Sounds to me as though he was the smart one.. eh?"


BTW, Most of my best friends are of Norwegian heritage... They aren't that bad to hang out with me. A cheap stubborn, hardheaded Scotch -Irish.

I always knew they were some good icefishers over there. I just didn't realize how good they were.

guess it cant be foul hooking if he pulled them up on some weeds.
