When it comes to mice, Byard and Howard can claim the prize for catching as I have a text message right here from his meisterness; "Caught another mouse last night. Howie caught 17 today. I caught 25."
Oh yeah, Terrestrial Steeves! Well Harry might have have tied you a mouse, but I know where he found a pair of brown trout so big in such a little stream that you would not believe it except Harry has photos to prove it (unless Hiner has them now). The stream is so close to Blacksburg, VA you could spit but the female (even larger before she blew her eggs) and male (un-fishing-believable!)are immense. Think steelhead, then think bragging size steelies except these are browns and not sea run (caught Lake Erie run browns in the mid twenty something inch range which could be their babies).

LOL
I tied a Pepto-Bismol-pink McFlyfoam mouse and a young guy named Victor that
worked for the booth that was selling the McFlyfoam got it.
I did tie a McFlyfoam platypus, and Jack Dennis took it and left it in
Tasmania, at a lodge there. They wouldn't let him leave with it, so it had
to stay. So add one more to the list. But it was a brown one, not a pink
one. Would you LIKE a pink platypus, Kethie? Hot Pink maybe? or Passion
Pink????
