Eat your heart out, Emily! ;-)

And that wasn't the ONLY catch! I caught a Yellow Lab, too!
(look closely at the water)

al,

Unfortunately, it was the catch...

Not only did I catch that whopper, but I caught a dog (yes, a dog--- a yellow lab which swam right down the middle of the river into my line and never batted an eye) AND I caught a large underwater rock.

I may post the photo of the dog I caught, too...

David,

A truly inspiring and worthy effort………………since when do you get time off to go fishing?

HA! Drew!

I was actually teaching at a summer festival (ARIA) at the time. The director, Mihai Tetel and I went out fishing on my day off. This trip has become a favorite story of Mihai's. (How often does someone catch a dog and a rock on the same outing? :-) I'm going to teach in his program in about 10 days. Its in the Berkshires at Williams College. Maybe this time I'll catch "the big one"!

Haha! Well, at least your better than my brother. He caught a stick. (I, on the other hand, caught two trout.)

Ha ha! Nice fish, a keeper for sure! Might I ask where you were fishing, or was it a secret fishing hole?

I almost caught a German tourist by the lip tonight, but he got away...
