Weight? 9#? Getting back to fishing was my goal in retirement. It's been ten years. This summer it'll happen.

I'm going to spend next summer fishing the Quabbin Reservoir like old times. They do rent boats. Got everything freshwater in there.

I'd be happy to help you get back into it. Fishing has been my passion since the age of 7.

Right about 8 1/2 lbs. Biggest bass I've seen in CT personally.

I was in a tournament with a friend in Brimfield, probably 40 years ago. The guy who had the biggest bass was disqualified. He entered the tournament with his young son. Caught an 8 pound bass, but didn't have a cooler so he just left it on the floor for six hours.

They were kind enough to weight the fish, but told him upfront that he'd be disqualified because it wasn't alive. I don't remember what the prize money was, but it was a lot.

A game warden was there and he told me people will shove weights down the fish's throat to add weight.

I mainly fish out of 43 and 8. All 3 gates offer access to great areas for Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout. Although I never target Lake Trout, they make a great "bycatch" when Smallmouth fishing. View attachment 114455

Back in the 70s, I went with a friend a couple times a week for probably two or three years. But he only wanted to troll for Lake Trout and that is boring as hell.

Don't sleep on the pickerel, bony but sizable in the Quabbin. And the smallmouth and rock bass are excellent.

When you catch a large mouth bass, you can stick your thumb in their mouth and kinda hold them, it supposedly paralyzes them a little bit so you can take the hook out.

I fished with a friend all the time for largemouth bass, but I caught a large pike. I swear to God, he saw me starting to put my thumb in his mouth and he laughed. When I pulled out the hook ... nothing, those teeth are so sharp. I didn't feel anything until I pulled out my thumb. He's said look at your thumb - nothing, nothing, nothing, then about 30 pinpricks of blood.

I always did catch and release, but I have to admit pike given a nice little fight.
