A Good Day To Go Fishing

     Jeff spent this morning fishing and came home with this carp that measured 33".  Fanny wasn't sure what it was so she had to check it out carefully.  Jeff figures it weighed 20-30 lbs.  He  hooked a 'shovel 

head' pike that was about 4' long but it broke his line.  He also got a couple of bullheads and some perch.  He set his minnow trap and hopefully, it will be full of minnow the next time he goes fishing

Jeff maintains there aren't any mosquitoes at this pond just big fish!  Big bass, big pike and big carp!  And don't forget those snapping turtles!  We think this pond may be spring fed and it's probably what's left of the farm pond from when the whole area was a truck farm.
  (Jeff was happy to talk about this fish and the big pike that got away with Theresa and Brenda when we stopped at the shop today in Cooperstown after his MD appointment while I restocked my display.  I think he may try for that pike again, tonight.  Stay tuned for updates and photos!)7/21/16
