3lb, 17"

[Barnacle Bill]

We cut our trip short due to the high winds and trolling motor problems. I did manage this one late Thursday. I wasn't going to bother registering it but Roy wanted to stop at Dashield's in Suffolk on the way back this morning. It weighed in at 3.0 lbs then but I'm sure it lost a lot of weight since its been on ice for 36 hours. Caught 2 others Thursday 1.4 and 1.6 and a couple of small ones. Friday we only got 3 keeps. That wind was something else.

Yes, Buffalo Creek at Buggs. The water was just a little high and stained.

Hey Dave. I didn't have your number with me while I was there or I would have called you. I caught the big one near the 1st point where little Buffalo starts. Caught it on a black/yellow Northland Gypsy jig with minnow. I thought at first it was a white bass as my partner had just caught one. I sure got excited when I seen what it was. LOL There was very little roe in it. Do you know how much weight a fish will loose after being on ice for 36 hours

Thanks Keith, I just wish I had gotten it weighed right after I caught it, but nothing was open.
