Those things are hard to find this year and tougher to get them to bite

Caught a similar species several decades ago, from a local lake. Owner had even etched his Social Security Number on the rod
I still have the rod/reel, but never used either one. Pre-internet time period, so I never bothered to put a name/address to the SS# ... and just kept it a "secret".

first one of the bunches I ketched over the years with the cork gone , wonder how long it takes for cork to go away under the water....

That sure looks like it has been gone for awhile. Will be interesting to see what it looks like cleaned up!
