April fools is right

[cutinbiat]

They actual have seven clues listed on the site:

1) Rollick C.A.- Is not a real place. The definition of Rollick is to "play
or romp around"

2) Last name "Deliar" is a play on "The Liar", (seemed to be the most
obvious, we were worried this might be to obvious)

3) Fiction Lake- Is not a real lake and everyone knows what fiction means
(2nd most common clue people got)

4) Last name "Caper", (not many people caught this one and this was another
one we were worried about)

5) No such agency called CA. Museum of Natural Resources (at least not that
we know of)

6) April Fools logo on the sweatshirt when you enlarge the photo (not nearly
as many people caught this as we thought would, some said they were way to
busy admiring the fish) The fish was actually only 8 and half pounds, thank
you to Sean for the fine work in Photoshop!!! Many people said it looked
totally legit!

7) The date April 1 (some people new this before even going to the page but
most said they forgot it was April Fools Day)

Did anyone notice the VERY SMALL PRINT at the bottom that say's:

Note: The above information may be speculative, based on misinformation,
contain inaccurate data, or could be entirely fabricated depending on how
savvy the reader may be, what today's date is, or the degree of gullibility
exhibited by any reader of this release. In the case of a more savvy reader
there would be 7 clues to the fact that this release may in fact be of the
previously mentioned nature. Click Here to guess the 7 clues.

Being suspicious from the outset, I saw "Fiction Lake" early in the piece and
was already "certain" it was a prank, then I saw the fine print. Game over.

I remember a crappy spring fishing scale called a "Deliar" that I had years ago.
It had a tape measure built into it.
