A Smith Called Pete produces and narrates this Technicolor one-reeler about sports fishing, particularly angler Ernie St. Clair, described as a 'champion fisherman.' Does this mean a champion liar? It could be.
Pete claims that Ernie uses a 6-pound line, and when he strikes a salmon, he goes swimming along, until the fish get tired. Given the near-whitewater conditions, I'd get tired way before, or the pull on the line would exceed six pounds and it would break, or I would decide that if I wanted salmon, I could buy some at the bagel store. Not Ernie! He goes swimming along for three or four miles, and when the fish gets tired and gives up, Ernie tosses them back in the water. This is what he calls fun.
