Was a nice meeting at about 8:30. Peg draw, we're all off, up the hill. 11am start. I hooked up about 12 to a big fish, only to have a hook pull. 12:15 hook another, this turns out to be a gorgeous, but empty 24lb mirror (new CT CAG Record!)!
Eric Muse, next peg from me lands a 14-10 common. I land another 14, then Domm lands a lower teen also. BUT, about 3pm, I notice that, for the last 4 hours, I was trapezing through poison IVY! Oh, not good! I decide to hoof it out of there before I become a raspberry, get some Tecnu, and hope for the best after a nice shower at home. I guess another small fish was taken on the other side. So, when I left (3:30pm), 16 anglers, 5 fish..... Stay tuned.... My 2 fish, 24lb mirror, and 14lb common. Gorgeous fish up here!

More news, Eric muse is the man! He has landed 4 fish, the affore mentioned 14+, a 17+, 19, and a nice 26lb 4ozer (which is all but a forgone conclusion for the big fish here!)! Fishing was slow elsehwere!
I was fishing next to Eric, and saw the effort he put in. Well done, and, though 10 minutes to go, congrats! BTW, I wish I had been able to stay. Check out the first 2 CAGI's (the only ones I've fished before the .4 I did today), and see the battles Eric and I had. I would love to have done so again! |

So Eric won the total-weight, top-4 and biggest fish... And the most fish while he was at it.
And Scott won side prizes for the first fish of the day, and the biggest mirror (which was a real beauty!). Oh, and the most sensitive skin to poison ivy!

QUOTE (Jerome @ Jun 24 2007, 12:19 PM) Oh, and the most sensitive skin to poison ivy! Right foot is a bit bumpy, as is the left foot. But, as much as I'd have loved to fish the last 6 hours of it, I think I made the right choice! Well done Eric, and thanks to Jerome and Mike! |

Keith, that could be. I've seen these guys fish enough to warrant it. But, still would have loved to have stayed long enough for free pizza!
Thanks. |
