I understand the gaff, because there is an unspoken law, perhaps some of you have noticed it; Fish in streams are measured by length, fish in lakes are measured by weight. I prefer using metric grams and millimeters as my units, but it bugs people. My perception is that inches and pounds are the preferred nomenclatures for rivers and lakes respectively, by way of tacit social contract. However, if I thought I had a 10lber on, I like to think I'd have the manners not to make that claim on a fishing forum.
Spring 2011 at Henry's, maybe, just maybe, I might have had the State record Brookie on my line, he rolled right in front of the boat and unhooked himself in the process; looked pretty big to me, and I've landed 5lb brookies before. It is irresponsible to make a claim like that claim publicly, so I've never mentioned to anyone just how big that fish was, until now, including my own father who was fishing in another boat near me. It was just a big brookie I lost. That said, no harm no foul.
Golly I'm friggin' excited to hit Henry's Lake in two weeks (Oct 12-17)
Fall is the best, and thanks for the fun video!
