So true. The older a fish-tale gets, the more detailed it gets.
The
oldest ones become books.
"The Old Man and the Sea" is the
dovetailing of two fish-stories- some
truth to each, but a great book and movie.

Subject: [VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
"Some people
are under the imression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is
the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing. But that is a mistake.
Mere bald fabrication is useless. It is in the circumstantial detail, the
embellishing touches of probability, the gereal air of scrupulous---almost of
pedantic---veracity, that the experienced angler is seen."
