Freedom, Maine

Got pics of the 2 smaller picks. Was taking a pic of the pike close to 48in, when he death rolled my thumb. Remember pliars lol!

Overcast sky, still a bit chilly. First catch of the year.

Cold water. First pickrel of yr.

I swam out to the middle of the lake with my girlfriends tiny pink pole with like 40ft of line left. Cast out let sink to the bottom, probably 20-25 ft. Slammed this big girl. Took her to Nana's and she fried it up for me and my Daughter. Super good! No worms, didn't taste all boggy. Lots of super good buttery, sweet meat and I don't like eating fish. My kid was flipping on me not to throw it back, she was hungry and wanted to eat it lol. How do you say no to that lol.

My girl was slamming these perch all day biggest one was probably almost 3 lbs and about a foot long. Biggest yellow perch I've ever seen and I've said that more than once about sandy pond. Great day!

Bottom fishing for all these guys. Biggest and best fighting yellow perch I think I've ever caught. Good day overall minus the mosquito's.

Just about to leave, small, good fighter on my 3rd to last cast. Right next to a patch of lilly pads. Guy breached 3 times before I got him in, surprised I did. Only catch of day. Had a 30 lb snapped on back side of dam but lost him at edge of water.

2 ft longs on backside of dam in bog.
