Hanover, NH (PRWEB) April 10, 2009 -- Fishermen love to tell fish stories. Some spin their tales on the docks while others save them for the tackle shop.

Henry Veggian Bowfin Fishing Story on Hooked-in
Henry Veggian is one of these new breed of fishermen who share their stories on Hooked-in.
Henry is a master angler who does most of his fishing in the Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. He's a member of the Triangle Bowfin Anglers Group and a faculty advisor to the Carolina Fishing Club. His stories can be found - complete with maps and photos - on his fishing report on Hooked-in (source: http://www.hooked-in.com/users/show/702).
Henry's fishing stories can be exciting:
"This Bowfin tore my lure to shreds. Its teeth chipped the 3/0 metal hook, its final run broke the back half of the lure and completely detached it, and when I took a close up photo of its face the fish tried biting me. And that was all after one of the most explosive battles I ever fought against any fish, in hard current, with rocks and snags everywhere." (source: http://www.hooked-in.com/catches/show/2180)
And informational:
"I landed 8 Rainbow Trout today and these pics are of the best from the day's catch. The small bass were hogging the water nearest the bank. Their presence, combined with a good wind, made it difficult to fish with a fly rod. So I switched to a spinning rod and caught the trout in deep water (15 feet), where they were suspended and rising occasionally. Some of these trout are bred from Steelhead stock, and I could tell the difference - they fought like crazy." (source: http://www.hooked-in.com/catches/show/2317)
Henry is one of thousands who use Hooked-in to tell their fishing stories - each through their own personal fishing report. This large collection of personal fishing pages has given the site the reputation as the "MySpace for fishermen."
