lunkerbasshunter Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 that is a great story! one that you will never forget! not sure if t against the rules or not. cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 That is a great story/read/pic Lew!!! If you released the fish, you didn't do anything wrong in my book. Even technically, I say you brought the fish to the boat on your rod and reel and you stayed in the boat when you grabbed it. I don't think a fish has to pass over the gunwale on a hook to be legal. Thanks again for the great read and pic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I am pretty sure that he saw that on FLW tour show on WFN last week or so. I think that the tourney rule is that you cannot get off your boat during the tounament. And that is why when he broke his line and saw it floating that he jumped in but kept one hand on his boat, to meet the rule.

Reef Runner Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't think you broke any rule out there, but could be wrong. Seeing as it went back unharmed I see no issue. I had a similar experience fighting a HUGE ski out of a canoe. had to shore land'er and as soon as I got it close the hook popped out. Hell, I jumped in the water with my shoes on and was cold, but not miserable, the whole day. Good story and pics Lew, now to print T-shirts that say "don't screw with Lew" reefrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carp Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Lew vs. Chuck Norris? G My money is on the OFNer. Great story L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLIWOGG Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Its against the law to take a fish by hand, I'm surprised that everyone here doesn't know that. Having said that, if you loose a walleye at the ice 9 times out of 10 you can reach in and grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Good to know POLLIWOG. Thanks for chiming in, as it only happened once to me I will be sure not to have it happen again. Thanks again, reefrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 That is because you are not Lew, the fishing Ninja, I see movie rights all over this story. But can Lew catch a minnow with chopsticks like “Daniel-Son” did with a fly? HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
