while muskie fishing on the French Broad, I was telling the guy who was with me about the largest muskie I'd caught . "It was 5 foot long and it's back was as wide as the blade on that paddle there." later we floated down by his favorite flat-head spot and he told me about fishing one night and knocking his coleman lantern in the water. He said that a week later he came back and hung his lantern and to his amazement it was still lit. I thought for a moment and told him I'd knock a foot off my muskie if he'd turn the light off of his lantern.
