Funny, ha ha. Make sure that beer is good and cold.


Actually I was thinking the same think Willi was. Didn't that bet have
something to do with the Madison and 7X?

I'll buy you a beer for every fish of any size you land in the Madison on 7X
(no barbs).

You buy me a Sierra Nevada if you land fewer than four fish all day on 7X.

I might be wrong, and I sure don't have any experience with 7X in the
Madison. 3X, yeah.

At Penns in '03, Warren and I had a chat about East vs. West and you
guys go big out there. Dumb trout or what?

Heavy current and heavy fish that know how to use the current.

Just the drag from the water against your line without any added
pressure can bust 7X on the Madison.

We'll see -- you don't think that there aren't big fish and heavy
current out this way?

7x is completely inappropriate for the Madison in the vicinity of Quake
Lake. It's not a fair, test. 7x might be appropriate, however, in the
braided-current water in Yellowstone Park -- to get a decent drift.

I made an offer of dinner and drinks for Peter (not a bet) but I'll make
a bet with you. Next time we go fishing together, you use 7X. I'll give
you $10 for every fish over 18" you land in a couple minutes and you
give me a buck for each fish you break off.
