[Dusty]

what do they do float them up the columbia, i knew that river was big, drove up the gorge too many times to mention but WOW, never thought about subs int he water :shock:

[rollen dean montoya]

i can tell ya exactly where they are. they would be cruising in lake pend
oreille out of the U.S. NAVY acoustic research facility at bayview id.
they also have 3 ww2 navy subs that also cruise the lake. it is a 1500 foot deep natural lake. i have seen ths place myself and have talked to a
sailor that is stationed there. to get this gig you better know someone
or be the best piece of "tail" on the planet. the fishing is awesome!
dad caught a 34 inch 13.5 pound rainbow trout. got it on video!
dad has it mounted on his wall!
later, rollen :lo1l:

18 years in the sub Navy!!! You'd be surprised at where we're at!!!!!!

[rollen dean montoya]

my dad told me that someone hooked the big fish! unfortunately the
rod and reel he had couldn't take the heat! suspect a sub had gotten away again #-o

[Mudrat]

We got caught in a trawlers net once. Had to E&E 100 miles surface and cut it off!!

[Goose]

I'll bet those fisherman tell some stories about that one!!

[rollen dean montoya]

but look how long it would take to gut, skin and fillet the thing. i'd
starve before i finished #-o

[Mudrat]

Hey Goose, I don't think they ever knew what they had 'caught :?

Red Dog, you tell me how long to gut and clean a 12,600 pound steel belly :razz: :lo1l:

Mudrat

[rollen dean montoya]

if my calculations are close then it would take about 4 months :shock:
hell i might as well throw it back! wouldn't be worth the effort.

[Mudrat]

:? :oops: :shock: :? :oops: :shock: :t: 8)

[rollen dean montoya]

thanks mudrat 8) but what if i do catch it and manage to land the big fish?
do i get to send it to the taxidermy shop to be stuffed and mounted :-|

What ever your little heart desires, and you won't have to worry about power for 50 years, you can sell the excess 8 megawatts you generate and become your own Power Company, make water, make oxygen and have a 26 foot 7 bladed fan to keep the breeze blowing across the hacenda :? 8)
