TALL TALES<br />

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!<br />

Heard that one before? Given a few beers, almost any red-blooded<br />

American hunter or fisherman can and will expound at great<br />

length their triumphant successes and conversely, relate heartbreaking<br />

stories of that near miss, that terrible loss or that blown opportunity.<br />

Sometimes when they’re told and retold, the antagonists in these yarns<br />

can attain near mythological proportions! Whether tragic or heroic, all<br />

story-telling sportsmen seem to possess a flair for subtle exaggeration.<br />

Others not so much! Some might say we come by this talent naturally<br />

as American folklore is filled with bigger than life characters achieving<br />

the seemingly impossible. Think Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill! Why let<br />

the truth get in the way of a good story?<br />
