I did a little surfing this morning on the habits of the {Yellow Perch}. I found an article from Field and Stream, I quote,"The all-tackle world record yellow perch, taken in 1865, weighed 4 pounds 3 ounces and is the oldest freshwater sport-fish record in the books. Caught in the Delaware river in New Jersey, the only reference made to the angler, was a young man the went buy the name TD",,,, hmmmm could it be ??

I don't think TD is 100+ years old, but could be, must be somethign in his gene pool? Teach me the secret, 100+ years of knowledge in the game, that would be wicked!

[green][size 2]The first float tubes that TD started using were made of straw. But, when the big bad W... came it blew his tube to smitherens.
Then, TD made a float tube out of wood. And, the native americans had a name for them called Canoe.
When the war years came(pick a war ie 1812, civil, WWI...), he found an old inner tube from a bicyle(TD wasn't quite growed up yet)....
Did I mention the tube he made out of styrofoam? It wouldn't his coffee warm enough.
With computers and the space program, TD consulted NASA.......

]Could it be that the legend of TD preceeds even TD?[cool] It really is too bad we don't have a body of water that consitently produced fish even half that size.
to my face what did you do with tube that looks like a lady I am intersted in tring it out. I have a patch maybe it would improve my luck![
