I lost all respect for Lee Wolf when he was shown on the cover of a popular Fly Fishing Magazine holding a Big trout. It was supposed to be a live trout, but was obviously dead. The eyes tell every time. I learned later he had the fish in a freezer for a week. Just about all the famous fishermen have stories told about them like that. If you'd mention whicj magazine and even an estimated date, I'd enjoy looking it up. In any event, none of us is so pure that we should condemn a man for one mistake.

Chas Chas, It was the cover of FlyFishing about 15 years ago. I'd look it up but sold all my magazines. A live fish held out of water will have his eyes pointing down. You would be surprised at the amount of them that they say are alive, but their eyes are pointing level. Ernie |

I've seen some fish still hold their eyes down after being bonked, and I have some pictures of steelhead that swam away vigorously despite the fact that their eyes are up in the pictures. I've seen a few magazine pictures with a guy holding his stuffed fish in a nearly natural way, but the upright fins and the open mouth were just too perfect. 15 years ago, most folks were still keeping fish. You also have to consider that getting a picture of Lee Wulff with a fish is great stuff for selling magazines. It may not even have been his fish. I'd complain if the article claimed it was some sort of a record fish that had been released unweighed, or if it was like that "world record bass" we saw pictures of recently.
