Apparently the Kennebec is known for its salmon and trout:

I like both, but we usually fish for smallmouth bass.

Thank goodness it had a synthetic stock or it might have been damaged.

The result, no doubt, of a boating accident.

Thanks everybody! I knew when I saw the title of this thread there was going to be some great comments.

None of you disappoint...LMAO!

I keep a shotgun in my boat in case of attack by flying fish.

How many crimes are committed with scoped bolt action rifles? Looks like a hunting rifle to me. Unless there’s some unsolved sniper attacks in the area I’m going with dropped/capsized.

That other fella came up with the joke first. I just changed his statement to a question.

These are corosive waters. I thought you needed air for rusting.

Looks like a Butler Creek shock absorbing jobbie to me. Very comfortable.

Reminds me for some reason of my Dad’s Winchester model 70, featherweight, ‘62 in .30-06. Walnut stock, it had the prettiest jeweled bolt.
