Fishing Jamaica Pond back in the mid 70's, I came across a body that someone had dumped in the water. I think I broke some kind of rowing -speed record atfer that. I do remember actually rowing the boat UP ONTO THE DOCK.
After that, I haven't had anything really surprising, although yesterday I was fishing up in NH at my brothers place (off a remote cove, off a small bay on Winni) and was having a great time catching black crappie on a fly rod. I also caught a few emerald shiners that were schooling in this particluar cove. On one cast where I caught a shiner, as I brought it in to shore, I noticed a 4 lb largemouth closing in for the kill. I proceeded to "play" with this bass as it would repeatedly attack and try to inhale this 7 inch shiner. If I could have added a trailer hook to the flyline, I would have had this beauty in no time.
It's one reason I have learned to appreciate live-lining bait when possible.
