When I go fishing (and the last time was in May of 2005), it's usually
for Steelhead or Trout.  I'm not what you'd call an avid (or even
"rabid") fisherman, but there is one sentence in the story that sort of
piqued my curiousity, and perhaps Bob La Londe can explain:

"That may be a problem, however, because Weakley said he foul-hooked the
fish ? meaning the hook lodged below the dorsal fin on the fish's side,
not in the fish's mouth."

When I'm fishing for Trout, it's with one "aim" in mind, and that is to
cook my catch.  I don't care if I get the sucker by a "fair hook" or
"foul" (if I can get him into the boat and he's big enough, he's
roasted).  :-)
