When will you catch your first keeper of 2008?

Holdovers don't count. I'm guessing I'll have mine by April 25th.

I heard today that a 50 was caught in Narragnsett last weekend, with sea lice, so we know its fresh.

I swear this is like the 30th year someone has caught a"50" n Narragansett in March.
The older I get the more amazed I am. I bet it's the same stupid fish they keep catching and releasing.

No boat, back in the suds.
