This Fisherman Uses
20-Pound Cod for Bait
SEATTLE, (Ah—So you think a
20-pound fish is a pretty good
catch with rod and reel.
Shucks, Jim Miniken uses those
minnows for bait—'but not inten
tionally.
Jim hooked a 20-pound ling cod
while fishing in Puget Sound for
salmon. He had that fish nearly
to his boat when an 87-pounder of
the same species gulped it. Then
the big cod tried to make off with
its lunch, the boat and the three
men aboard.
Miniken finally got the big cod
close enough so it could be gaffed,
whereupon it spit out the little
bitty 20-pounder which Miniken
pulled aboard with his line.
