Any explanation necessary?

Walleye is wonderful! And crappies taste great too.

Too bad that we have to show Photo I.D. in order to purchase a license to catch them

Gil's confusion about how to spell speckled perch is understandable because he's a Francophile at heart. Stan must have grown up watching yankee fishing shows on the TV...Geo

Once caught a 6 pounder on a cricket and a no. 7 Carlisle hook. Buddy has one that I don't think can be topped too easily. He caught a 20 pound striper on a cane pole in Brier Creek, near me.. According to him it was "a battle royal".

It might be worth remembering that George Perry's 22.4 lb fish was completely wild caught out of a backwater of the Ocmulgee River. Plenty of folks now are using the GA/FL strain giant bass to purposely grow their own record fish. Feed lot style management can produce fish the size nature never could. I read yesterday about some movie star having his own biologist to direct his big fish projects.

I remember Georgia's Paradise Public Fishing area before it was run by the State. The owner had one lake (Bobbin) he dumped surplus/damaged Stuckey's candy in so heavily the wrappers covered the lake banks. The water was pea green and thick with algae. There were some big bass brought out of there...Geo
