| Hey everyone,
after I finished my first season finished with not a single fish, I finally managed to land one of the beasts today. The fish came during about the 25th hour of this year's season, on a Dominatrix bucktail. (Thanks for the great product James.) This fish was a healthy 44 incher, and came out of a creek bed in 72 degree water. Thanks for looking!

| A Reservoir in New Jersey, 500 acres. It has a good population of fish, and they are all fairly large from what I've seen/heard. |

| Nice job man. It only seems to get easier after your first fish. Well, not necessarily easier on a fish per hour basis, but mentally KNOWING you can catch one makes a huge difference. I have 6 fish in the boat since last July (my first) and still haven't hooked into a 44" inch fish so that is one heck of a start! |

way to go... monksville??
Yup...won't tell you where though, you gotta figure that part out on your own. If you would like to know, shoot me a PM.
Thanks for all the support and kind words guys. I'm heading out again Friday to see if anything is doing. I'm hoping it does get easier from here lol |
