BUZZ BOMBS BONK BIG RIVER SALMON
Dear Buzz-Bomb Lure Corp.,
My name is Rick Graser, Steelhead, Salmon fisherman. I recently had
one hell of a fishing experience using your half green & yellow
4W Buzz Bomb. The story is enclosed with this letter.
In this story it says a friend took a picture of this fish,
the friend was a woman whom I didn’t know at all, that was fishing
with her husband.
During the course of fighting this fish
a lot of other boats had surrounded me & I asked if anyone had
a camera & this woman did. So she boarded our boat & I took
several pictures of my fish. After I released my fish I was so much in
that I couldn’t think too clearly to ask her for the film or her name.
My friend took control and gave her his name & address for the pictures.
Until this minute we have not seen any pictures & doubt we will.
Its very disheartening not having them. The only thing I have is
the fresh memories & witnesses who were there with me. I would have
loved to send you a picture. From the first of Sept. until the end
of Oct. I fished every weekend for Fall Chinook Salmon using your
buzz-bomb & totally killed the fish! I landed several big fish
including Salmon of 50, 52, 56, 57 pounds respectively. I also had
the pleasure of fishing next to ... of ... who is pushing his Krocadiles.
Myself & fishing partner Chuck Hanson out fished ... 5 to 0. Some
people think its luck but try to tell me different. Buzz-Bomb Lures
are relatively new to the Upper Columbia River and are definitely the
best thing on the market. The action of your Buzz-Bomb simply drives
the Salmon into frenzy! If your Company has a fishing research team I
sure would like you to consider me for the job in Eastern Washington
State.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and Rick Graser will
continue to Bomb the Salmon.
Sincerely, Rick Graser Moses Lake, WA.
BOMB A STURGEON Graser’s case not just a fish story
BY STEVE RUPP
Consider the case of Rick Graser, it’s worth the time.
Here is a superb fisherman who happened to be out fishing all upriver
King Salmon on Sunday on the Columbia River.
At about 11 a.m., his Reeder Rod almost formed a circle, stretching
every inch of his 15-pound test line.After an hour and 15 minutes of battling the fish, Graser finally
corralled what he felt was an 11-plus foot, 300-pound sturgeon.
I had to let my line go out and had jigged one, two, three times
and bam, the thing hit hard, he said. It just sucked the lure right in.
When Graser and his fishing partners Ron Moyer, Mike Fisk and Paul
Roth had finally gained control of the monstrous fish, Graser found
himself with a problem.Knowing he had what could be a world record for the biggest fish
ever caught on 15-pound test line, Graser also knew in Washington
sturgeon over 6 feet long must be released.
Although Graser had a friend take a photo, the International Game
Fish Association has told him it can’t recognize the mark because
he didn’t weigh the fish.
While Graser waits for those photos to be developed, he wonders how
he will make people believe what is an incredible story.
