Wow! Absolutely love these stories. Better response here on this BB than to our Website contest. Andy, thanks for starting a new funny fishing story thread- the other one was getting a bit long to download. Hey, I always thought that the blood/kidney of salmon/steelhead was what made dogs sick then immune, but we just got our first puppy & fishers tell me the outer slime can do it also- those rambunctious truck robber pups may get it early? And keep posting your good stories on here because I know people love the funny aspects of fishing. If any are too dirty for public posting, e-mail 'em to me; I can handle it . BTW- I e-mailed my snail mail address to you to get one of your product brosures. - Hawk; when you get into Portland in a few weeks I should get you booked into the Comedy Club here for a standup fish story routine! Thanks. Still would like you to e-mail me your name for story credit in the book (ReelTruth1@aol.com). Love both nose stories. Seems any good story involving fish, noses, and pants will always be funny! - Steve Hanson
