Rossi Rifleman

I got my wife this little Taurus 9 shot 22 snub nose revolver. Very hard to cock, even hard to pull the trigger.
She hated it, so she sold it.
The guy who bought it drives up in like a green 64 Dodge short bed pulling an old aluminum fishing boat.
He said that he needed it for his tackle box.
So I asked if he had one before, "Oh yah, went overboard" .

So I am bringing this up, do we need a revolver in the tackle box?

In the NW, it's very common to have a large caliber SS revolver to apply the coup d' gras to halibut. A big halibut can knock you overboard or even tear out your transom.

Ruger Single Six is a common box gun down here.

There's also snapping turtles, snakes, various criminal types, etc......

Don't forget the reptiles, some get a bit big down here.

Like you need a bigger tackle box,,,,to put the gun in,,,,

Back when our boat was new we were fishing Flaming Gorge, we were half way between the Dam and Wyoming.
Some guy rented a Pontoon boat, and tried to make Wyoming in it, Over 20 Miles on water, he had ran out of gas and cranked the battery dead trying to start it. We stopped to help then the Fish Cops showed up and told us to leave.
The guy was a convict...

The one Okie posted is likely real. The still shot is obviously doctored.

The still shot looks like it is an Australian crocodile
