June 2006 Fish and Hat.jpg
Last year, due to weather and other factors, I didn't go fishing even ONCE from May 11, 2005 until April 3 2006. This year I'm making up for it, and have already had six outings ranging in length from 2 to 4 days, and from Kissimmee FL to Rainy Lake, Ontario. This Monday and Tuesday Ken Penrod and I were on the upper Potomac, a beautiful stretch of river and one of my favorite places to "drown worms". The fishing was active, but due to the fact that that section of the river is so over-populated that the fish don't get very big....not enough food to go around for fast growth We caught about 75 over the two days, and I did get one that Ken called a "trip saver" He wanted me to pose with my safari hat on, so I did. It's not a big fish, but compared to the rest we caught it's King Kong.
