Look, I am very happy you had an interview with Tom, I know Tom well and he is willing to talk to anyone at anytime and loves a fish story as much as the next guy...How ever it happened, Good for you..
But to call those fish 40lbers or that fish 40lbs And force smart , inteligent, adults and people who have fished and seen fish of every size for many years...to believe it is asking for trouble...I know as one who gets myself into trouble all the time...Just some advice it looks foolish...I am not going to say you didnt catch alot of fish because for all I know you certainly did...But I cannot dismiss with my own eyes what I see and know to be ridiculas, You lose all credibility trying to pass off obvious 18lb fish as 40s Just cant do it...
If I was you and wanted to make a name for myself as "Rock Hoppin" I would start to weigh my fish on certified scales in well known tackle shops and have the proof to back it up and to be honest, it looks like you could use a helpfull lesson or two using a scale and reading it properly..
Tom is a nice guy, But Tom is not a fisherman at all....Tom writes a column, I do not fault him at all, he will believe what you tell him...But from the looks of your pictures, it would not have mattered which one he used, becaue none of those fish come anywhere near 40lbs...In the last picture here you say is a 40, is no more than 20-22 tops(I hate to even say that because it acually could be smaller now that I look at the head more)
Remember also, Just as it has been told to me, you asked for the this once you gave the interview...it goes with the territory...
Be able to back up what you claim!
