    I hope there is more evidence then that picture.

    That Fish could be as small as 25lb’s depending on where it is in relation to the camera and where the diver is at the time of the picture.

    I’ll stick with Myth at this point.

    Thanks Pug!

    I tried giving everyone a hint. It took me a second too, since it was Mr. Sutton who penned it.

    It had me thinking hard right up till the end. I just figured it was another one of the “internet stories” out there with doctored up photos.

    I have heard these stories from a good friend. When they built one of the bridges down in St Paul (High Bridge I think), he claims the divers where scared by huge fish (cats).

    Folk lore is what I added it up to.

    The picture is kind of sketchy though.

    Thanks for posting

    I think you have to pay for the ad before you create it.

    When it calculates the total of the ad your placing it

    will kick you into the payment screen. Sometimes you may

    have enough fish bucks to pay for the ad and other times

    it will send you to paypal.

    If you paid for the ad then go back to the classifieds to the

    section your going to place your ad in and you should be good to start posting.

    Does this help?

    bug headnet and a wide brimmed hat to keep the netting away from the skin. Best $1.99 you’ll spend at Walmart.

    One word for this solution….amazing! http://www.flypatch.com/

    I’ve personally used them and they are incredible.

    You’ll feel them hitting the patch on the top of your head (which takes some getting used to), but put your faith in this deal. After a few hours in the woods, you’ll be amazed. I’ve thrown away patches with 20+ deer-flies attached to it.

    Enjoy!

    2 strips last up to 1 week. Who is going to keep dead flies on their head for one week? It does seem like a good idea though. And that is exactly where they land too!

    The flypatch looks like it would work to keep those pesty deer flies away! Now if I could only get them to make me a “gutpatch”!
