Fish stories?

[2knees]

yeah you know the deal. The fish that is caught on the boat miraculously grows by 30lbs by the time you get to the bar.

I'm wondering how much it happens with ski stories. the 8" of east coast "powder" turns into 2 feet of blower. the 5 foot huck becomes a 20 foot monster. the b.s. factor. I've heard some good ones in my time. anyone got some they want to share?

I can top that................Dumper Air

The dumper air is no fish story...

The dumper air is no fish story...

The "air" part most certainly is.

I was fishing in my home town on Sunday. We were out on Great Ledge bottom fishing for scup. It was 'catching' rather than 'fishing'. I was pulling scup and black bass into the boat every minute or so. Most were under the limit but it was plenty entertaining for a few hours. It was actually pretty hard to drink the Long Trail Double Bag. You'd take a sip or two and then need to set it down to pull a fish out of the water.

The "air" part most certainly is.

The lack of legit air is all part of the maneuver.

The dumper air is actually a reverse fish story. In reality, it's sorta like a Bubba Scrub for skiing. The idea is that you're able to go faster when you're on the ground, so you absorb the lip of the jump by throwing your weight down at the last second, like thus:

But when skiing, going to the side isn't an option because of the edges starting a turn, so the only option is to squat, thusly:

Bvibert was concerned that when others learned the truth of the awesomeness of the maneuver, their brains would explode, and decided to cover up its real purpose by passing it off as a trick.

(Incidentally, the first image Google shows in a search for dumper air is that one, followed by Pat's pole daffy.)

Biggest trout(Brown, Battenkill River(NY), 83' I think) I ever hooked. So I'm using a relatively heavy rod/line(8'6" #6wt) and I'm hauling off like I have a sailfish on. Nothing happens...the fish just casually swims around the whole damn pool for ~30min...towing my line all around the pool and finally wraps the leader around a submerged log.....leaving me for ~5min thinking it's still on...
...Ta Bump Bump... That's it(honestly)...LOL. Not much...but it was then...mainly cuz I'd neglected to bring waders with me...and being early May...was pretty cool & raw...was thinking about jumping in after the damn thing...just to get a glimpse of it...
$.01...

Somewhere between ~1968-70, LilyBay,Moosehead Lake, Maine. Brook at very NE end of lake feeds out into highly fish-laden bay of lake.. Grandparents had camp from 1949-1972. On way back from a summer's day with granddad on his workday..stopped at camp and I went down to local peninsula(~50yds long) that lines the inlet brook's path out into the lake. Walking back, now in no-fishing territory...spot the monster brooktrout. I'm constantly looking around to check for people, namely wardens....I'm flipping my fly anyway and in every direction to try and entice the thing(~24+" long, no exaggeration...but you know how inches creep onto fish..but this was close though)...car coming...I quickly strip all line in..drop rod, and make like I'm sightseeing...next moment...pick it back up again...an I'm at it again..this goes on and on..LOL.
End of story...no luck... Trout just sits up in ~10' deep brook...I'm standing on bridge..~8' overhead of fish = was torture back then...

I was at Yagoo with my brother after a huge snow storm. We boot packed above the summit lift and because we had our fat boards, we decided to ski a steep and narrow chute into the back bowls (on the Saunderstown side). When we were half way down the chute a snow boarder hucked the cliff and trggered a huge avalanche. Since we were all wearing our Ortovox transponders the rescue crews were able to dig us out. The rescue patrol were all Swedish models who invited the three of us to dinner and drinks.

Translation:

My brother and I were in lift line at Yagoo, were horsing around and fell on top of each other and took out someone else in line. A blonde women from Cranston helped untagle us and told us to "smahtan up!".
