SURGEON GENERAL WARNING
Opening this thread and salivating on the pics is NOT advised to anybody suffering from Neilsternilitis (commonly known as "Mirrorless Syndrom"). Side-effects might range from minor headaches to heart attacks and sometimes irrepressible surges of aggressivity... Yes, you guessed it, I caught a nice mirror...  Actually my second biggest mirror, and by far the biggest in my home state (MA). 20 pounds even (I checked the scale several times!). Isn't that a beauty? Very few scales overall. Both sides were roughly identical.  I didn't catch that many truly memorable fish in 2006, but this one really made my day...  Plus it stayed put for a while in the water, allowing me to take a few more nice shots!  And it was followed by 4 other fish, all in the 20 pounds vicinity, all in a few hours... Very cool session! One of the best of the year, actually. Isn't fishing great when it works?

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. |

macfish here. Jerome, nice looking fish. Congrats on the new mirror PB and the good session. Jonathan
-------------------- Izaak Walton - Author of "The Complete Angler" in 1653 writes: "The carp is the Queen of Rivers: a stately, a good and a very subtle fish that was not first bred, nor hath been long in England."
Izaak also called the carp the river fox - because "is it a very subtle fish and hard to be caught." |
