Dec 2 around 1990 15 lb hatchery buck Peach Rd....the reason I remember it so well was that a german tourist watched me land it and wanted a picture taken of himself holding it. So I took a pic of him while it was bleeding all over his pants..his wife was furious...but he had a big smile on his face..I guess that why we call them smileys

I'm a late bloomer...earliest fish caught was January 31.

So much so that I don't even bother heading out before the end of January.
Much too cold.

It never hurts to take a few weeks off fishing to reorganize.

Earliest hooked Dec 18, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30 and 31. But due to freezing conditions and luck, I wasnt so lucky on all of them.  I know a buddy who landed one the first week of december last year.
I dont usually start the hunt till mid december, and always part take in the holiday gong show around christmas.  :P
