Actually I can think of several examples of the opposite situation and waters that are supposed to hold nothing special suddenly start producing whacking great fish. I think we sometimes underestimate what some of our waters hold.
Although I sympathize with anglers who feel they are being conned I don’t really have a big issue with fisheries claiming this that and whatever, maybe because I am a bit of a skeptic and I basically don’t believe anything anyone tells me till I see it with my own eyes anyway.
Also it has to be said that a good monster story gets the juices flowing even if its cobblers most of the time, plus after a while you begin to get a sense for obvious BS and what might have a grain of truth worth following up.
