Hal’s opinion on boats, size, speed etc., are relevant when discussing fishing the
Big Lake. The lake has become a very dangerous playground. I had a very close call 2 years ago while trolling for salmon. It was very early AM and I saw a boat bearing down on me. He missed me by 50 feet or so. There were no other boats in the area and I assume he did not see me until he veered of at the last second either that or he was just having some fun for himself nad trying to spook me....he did... I was just about ready to jump out of my boat. I fish much less than I did in the past because it just aint worth it anymore.

Anyway Hal is a good human and he wrote a great book to be passed down through the generations. IMHO!
