I missed fishing. In younger years that is all I would do.
This year I decided I was going to fish. So I have been out a couple times.
This was from yesterday’s trip to Quabbin Reservoir in Mass. Largest body of relatively clean fresh water in the state.
I heard they have big fish there.
I seem to remember fish being bigger though.
Actually I was after some yummy trout and did get one.

Re: Grimp Goes Fishing
I did a lot of fishing when I was younger, then I moved to places where it is hard to find anyplace to fish. Down south it was so swampy you needed a boat. Not much water in Ohio except for a few rivers.
Looks like you had fun.

Ya, it was fun to get at it again. Two trips I got my wife to go. She sat and read. Thinks it's too boring.
Last trip Doc and one of my daughters came along. I taught them everything I know so Doc caught about 4 or 5 tiny fish. My daughter caught rocks and trees. Anyone can catch big fish. Catching fish smaller than your bait is a real skill. Tree trout and rock trout fishing takes advanced techniques. You need to be able to fool them by casting in a certain direction and have it go completely the opposite way catching them off guard.
Just happy to pass on my knowledge to the next generation
