interesting article, can't believe fish can grow that old. I wonder how many lures that fish has seen over its lifetime

That's a Dink. A 37 year old Mack from the Gorge or Jackson Lake would be twice that size. Must be bad diet or something.

He should still get the five dollars off his next fishing license. I am glad he put the fish and the tag back in the lake. Now if the fish shows up again it will be an even older story. Thanks for posting!
