You've got a better chance of winning the lottery than hooking four keeper fluke in one day. Been fluking with Cowkiller for a couple weeks now and I'd estimate that only one out of every 30-40 fluke brought over the rails has been over 20.5 inches. Maybe you can verify that, Joe? :(

The sad part is you would probally have better odds on the lotto.
