Who will catch the first...
Who will catch the first thirty Pounder in New England and when? Shore or Boat? What general vicinity?

Hi Jeff...
Should have made the disclaimer for salt caught fish, not those mystical sweetwater ones ...
Mr Sandman - reread the question - first 35 POUNDER . Usually not much gets by you but you must be jonesing as this one did... Did they change the herring issues over there?

Fish are safe from me, next weekend it's a two day yard sale and then it's get the house on the market. I'm afraid my fishing days are done for the short term, but maybe now that I have some additional daylight and warmer weather coming, I can sneak out some night.

I was just fishing off of tributary of the Thames yesterday. Tripped on a rock, and popped up about 15 yards down the river from where I was. The water is high!
