Whenever Dumas passes over a big ball of bait, he assumes the bite will turn on as the Traps he has out pull through the same area.
Figuring out where the trout are on the world’s longest continuous bridge over water is a daunting task.

The Slimeslinger travels light, with all his tools in a single plastic tool box. Naturally enough, the man’s most important tools are his knives. He only carries three kinds, and none of them are the scimitar that one would imagine that he would need to clean a 100-pound tuna.
