Correction of the week

The Times had to run this one:

A March 22 Outdoors article about tuna fishing incorrectly identified an angler as Rusty Johnson. His name is Frosty Johnson. The article also said Jack Nilsen caught a 248-pound fish using a tuna-catching device called a kite; Nilsen did not catch this fish using this device. Finally, Gayle Johnson was misquoted as saying, "Fish hard, lick the bait, and don't think you know more than the crew." The correct quote is "Fish hard, pick the bait, and don't think you know more than the crew.

This one might hurt more: the paper also got the new publisher's hometown wrong. He's from Fargo, not Chicago.
