Since moving to Rangeley Bob would call for a weather/snow report .He would also want to know if the dogs[mine] were getting their Cheerios.A joke we had when Bob came over the house in Orleans to see what flytying/rodbuilding stuff was going on at the time.I'd give the dogs cheerios and watch them run around the kitchen.

Paul,Bobs fish I believe was 68lbs and had the Wally Brown mount refirbished last year.It was hanging in the Fishing the Cape fly shop in Harwich prior to the restoring.The mount is hanging over the fireplace at his house.He gave me a photo of he and the fish on the front lawn. It's in one of the boxes still unpacked up here.It's kind of blurry but I'll get it out and post it if possible.
I'm a lot younger than Mr. Luce but by much older cousin fished with him. Another fishing buddy of mine (a lot older than me as well) was a good friend of Mr. Luce. From what they tell me his biggest fish was 68LBS. He had more 50LBD+ fish than anyone would dream about. My cousin caught a 52 LBS fish with him in the late 80's and it is still his personal best.

He probably had helped tag more Mass Bass than anyone around.
