3 Species Day at Willard 7-12-22

Hey Pat, glad to hear the Babe is doing okay.... even if she isn't keeping up with your training schedule... Those jumping smallies is why I like to chase them, but it's sure hard to keep them from unbuttoning when they get airborne.. I lost my personal best fish as it launched to the air when it was about 6' from the toon.... But it's exciting to add that to the battle...  and also easier to call them your best fish when you don't get a tape on them... Congrats on a great day out... Later Jeff

Yessir.  As we fisherfolk seem to mutually agree...we all trust the reports, tales and claims of all other tanglers...and expect the same courtesy and respect in return.  So, in the absence of other witnesses a lost fish can be anything we want it to be...without challenge.  Did I ever tell you about that 10 pound crappie I almost got at Willard?  Came off just as I was reaching for it with the net.  (Kind of a strange looking crappie though...with that puckered mouth and those big golden scales.)
