05/09/09 - Foundry Pond - Foxboro, MA
took the canoe out for 3-1/2 hours in the evening. we really love this pond. quiet, calm, peaceful. a great place to fish and we have done well each time.
ended the night with 14 total. nicholas had 3 large mouth, 3 calico, and 2 perch. i had 3 pickerel, 2 calico, 1 perch, plus a monster pickerel that dove under the boat and got off the hook before nicholas could get the net on it. it was easily close to 30 inches and based on my drag i would guess at least 4-5 lbs.
and as luck would have it, i got another treble burried in my finger thanks to one of the pickerel. another half hour to get it out. i have finally realized i am holding them wrong when trying to remove the hook, lol. tough lesson to learn...
