I hate the Humpies too. But, in 1985 Berkley Triline had a contest on that if you caught a world record on their line you would win $1000.00. IGFA Records.

So myself and Bubba Swartz loaded our reels with several different poundages and went out on the Kenai River and caught a Humpy on each line class catagory. Then we entered them in IGFA and won 3 of them. I got the 2&30 pound winners and Bubba got the 8 pound winner.

I think it was the 2 pound, 8 pound and 30 pound class. $3000.00 was send to us shortly thereafter. Since then they have been beaten and of course the 3 grand is gone too!!!

I would post a copy of the check I got but I don't know how to get it on here, but I have a digitial picture of it. Pretty sure the Humpies got filed into the round can.
