Previous reports allege that this man has shown up in the heat of July with a fishing rod and a bag of dead shrimp, has stayed up all hours of the night catching sand trout, has driven from his home in Needville - 65 miles away - in the middle of the night to wet a line, and most recently and I might add most alarming, has been seen catching keeper sized speckled trout on a 1/32 oz crappie jig.
The latest report is almost unbelieveable. Bystanders attest that this lunatic hooked and landed a 2 1/2 pound flounder with an ultralight rod and was fishing with a naked, white, glow-in-the-dark worm that is designed to be fished on a tandem jig called "The Puzzler".
Who does this guy think he is anyway?
What about tradition - what about convention?
We have standards after all!
Here is the fish in question alongside the famous telescopic rod.
Most logical fishermen will tell you that this story
is highly unlikely given the unique configuration of the flatfish:
They are bottom dwellers after all and are ambush predators not worm eaters.
And who believes that a #2 thin wire hook
could withstand this mouthful of teeth?
A co-conspirator Joe Riviera (AKA Cholo) was also seen
catching large specks on a bass plug and a light rod.
Please be on the lookout for this guy at places like this:

This rogue fisherman is influencing others! He must be stopped.
He is known to move about in the darkness and
generally sneaks off just about daylight.
One passerby claims to have caught him in this photo
but we do not have independent confirmation.
Be on the lookout - I'm sure he will be back!
