Talk about one that got away. An Arkansas man who caught a record 68-pound striped bass sued the International Game Fish Association for denying him a $1 million prize in their contest.
Rodney Ply, 41, of Diamond City, Ark., entered the "Hook-a-Million" contest, which offered a $1 million prize for any angler who caught a fish that broke a world record using a Mustad-brand hook .

Mustad?
Norwegian brand. Trust a Norwegian company, and be thankful the hook isn’t in your nose.

You tried to lure me in, but something about this story sounds fishy so I didn’t fall for it hook, line, or sinker.

Well, the lure did have nothing to do with the actual contest, only the hook.

Heh. I probably have gazillions of the silly things floating around. Company is a couple hundred years old, I think, and they were actually innovative in their day. Now, of course, nobody cares much for or about hooks anymore, or even about fishing gear of any kind. The old reels and rods are not even being made anymore, and you’ll find the stuff on ebay.
Sad, sort of. The big event of summer used to be the lure and gear catalog. No more.
