Fish Tales

A wise man once pondered is it better to be the best at fishing or to be the best at telling fish tales. This page is dedicated to fish stories that are probably not 100% true but the pictures don’t lie.

Before this page starts, we need to include some legal captions. “Even though this is the internet and thus everything on the internet must be true, all the following information and stories below are not true. You will not be able to catch any of the fish seen below on sleepy creek. If you do that is awesome. But we are pretty sure you won’t. As always, the names of participants below have been withheld to protect the guilty and do not try any of this at home. We highly recommend not listening to any of the advice or suggestions contained or hinted to below.”
