State Smallmouth Record Broken on Lake WA!!
According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, Hector Martinez, a 12 year old boy from Puyallup was fishing with his dad and uncle in Gene Coulon Park yesterday afternoon with night crawlers and a float.
Just 10 minutes into fishing, little Hector felt a big tug on his little Ugly Stik rod and immediately called his dad and uncle for assistance.
"His pole was bent so far over," his uncle said, "that I knew it had to be a huge fish.
Hector's dad eventually netted the fish and to their astonishment, they couldn't believe the size of the smallmouth.
When they weighed the smallmouth on a Rapala scale, it read...
HA! April fools!

Once I read 12 year old boy......
I thought for sure this was for real because that will probably be the way it will go down. Soaking crawlers, off the dock on a snoopy pole.

Saw once at Martha Lake (alderwood) a 5 year old with a snoopy pole catch a 3lb triploid thru the fence on the dock...... You couldn't believe it when 5 retired guys tried to help that little kid get that fish through the fence.....His mother brought us all cookies later in the day... :-)MAKES YA FEEL GOOD!!! To bad it wasn't a bass.... :-(

Thanks for being such good sports. :bball:
I posted this at a different forum. Even after over 250 hits less than three had the courage to admit that got bamboozled.
