I'll tell you a little story about the Vineyard. I hooked that fish that mangled the snap on a 3 oz jig---a home made jig that a friend poured. Pretty distinctive style. A couple of nights later, a guy landed a 62 pound bass at Squibby, or a Danny plug. He weighed it in at Coop's where they found a 3 oz jig still lodged in her throat. I had told Coop about losing a nice fish the morning after I lost it. The guy weighed in his 62 in the morning. In the afternoon, same day, I went into Coop's, and he put a jig on the counter. Said to me, "did you lose this somewhere?". I said, maybe, looks like one of mine, did I drop it on the driveway a couple of days ago? He told me, "I took this out of the throat of a 62 pound bass this morning."

Can I say, definitely, it was the same fish? Who knows? My friend poured them for himself and other fishermen. But, what are the chances?

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
