does one need a witness or a photo and or some other form of proof ?
i think the best of fish stories are the ones that might be truthful .
case in point >>>>
i almost got pulled out of the boat the other day by a HUGE crappie !
i have a witness to it though ,so does it make it a good story ?
then it got away on the surface much to my dismay ...
does that qualify it as an even better version on said story ?
or how about i was using a medium heavy rod and it about broke it ?
and if the lews reel was screaming drag it most certainly gets a bit less than believable right ?
i often wonder if a fish story is only a good fish story if you have zero evidence it ever took place....what say yawl ....?
