Me and my buddy fished that entire area Friday and Saturday and caught only one sucker. The amount of miles I put on the truck trying to find a fish it probably worked out to $30.00/lb -
As of 5/11/05.........didn't fight too bad. Released a slightly smaller male the same day......along with several smaller ones. 4 lbs 8.2 ouncesLast edited by pondhopper; 05-21-2005, 07:09 AM.--"Pete You***?!, Pete You***'s grandson?!...That name is nearly sacred & uttered with awe in THIS house!" : The late Dr. Reed's wife, upon entering her house & being introduced- so to converse with her husband about the old days, a little before he died.

yeah...you forgot to mention that...
Congratulations!
I heard you had an issue with the way the papers were filled out. .52 oz instead of .52 lbs...
Glad you got things worked out.
What fly did you catch it on?

I do have to apologize for the off-hand compliment, so here is an official heartfelt congratulations from WB and me.PS- Thanks for the off-handed compliment, Mars!

If anyone deserves it, it is you who have been dedicated to fishing every pond in the world, or at least in the ADK and for so unselfishly sharing limitless knowledge to others.

Thank you - everyone. Ken, I didn't hear about any paperwork trouble....but- knowing the DEC, I'm not too surprised....digital scales can be difficult, esp. between 2 different regions (5 & 6). Ummm, I've already shared my "secret hackle" with you in our PMs.....shhhh, mum's the word

So, how long did you have to fight that brute to get him in? He surely must not have wanted you to land him. The 4- 14" brookies we caught fought like h_ll, twisting and turning like a brookie does, can't imagine what that guy tried to do."The way I see it, you're hooked.Trout have you. Another soul lost."

By the looks of that monster brookie ,it probably gave Pondhopper a ride around the pond like a trolling motor.Look at the shoulders on that brutus.
Is that a native brookie or was it stocked along long time ago??I have a hard time figuring that out when they get that big.
WB"Get your mind off trout,if you can.I know they`ve got you.I can see it. Every fraternity of sufferers knows its brothers.Trout hook men;men don`t hook trout.Better try and throw the hook while you can.By the time you`re a grown man there probably won`t be a pure trout healthy enough to fiddle with"...
