Dwight- Thanks for the info. Maybe some here with NP mounted, they could make some measurements of total length and gape of the mouth. Cecil could also provide some of this sort of information from fish in his shop. He always has a pike hanging ready to paint. I am interested to see what size of fish these larger pike are capable of eating. If you are able to provide some data, I am making a thread in Types of Fish To Choose to put the data. Thanks.

Well, while both my pond and I are in PA, that snapping turtle had a big West Virginia assist.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I find this a little hard to believe. There wasn't a stew pot in sight.

Only after the fact did I realize that two of the WV crew were trying to 'store' the snapping turtle.

First, they tried to 'store' it in the back of Ken's pickup truck, but it kept crawling out.

So, they ended up putting in the Port-O-John.

They kind of laughed it off like they were playing a joke on me, but now I realize, they wanted the turtle!

Sunil seems more giddy than usual today. It could be anticipation of the evenings 12-Peroni event.

HaHa.

I probably won't have the TV on (or the radio)(or the laptop).

It is going to be a two house day out on Bremer Pond tomorrow. Bad news for the fish!


Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

He does look like a Ridgeback, but both he, Milo, and his brother, Boone, are Great Danes primarily. We don't think they are pure.

Milo is 110 lbs. and can catch a bird in flight.

Yeah, Milo is a bit crazy too.

He bites people, including kids. But he thinks its funny. When the landscapers are here, Milo will start acting aggressive to the ones who show the least bit of fear. Then, Boonie will approach the same guy from 180 degrees away, so the poor guy can't keep his eyes on both dogs at the same time.

It's pretty funny.

Good for you Sunil. If he was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, I might have gotten a bit crazy too. Their our dogs of choice, but not a particularly well known breed.

That is a very handsome dog.

Tell me that isn't how your lawn looks right now.

Jesse caught a 10 inch smallie this afternoon. Remember the ones that went in at 3 inches.

So are those the biggest smallies you have now? I thought you had some larger natives.

The lawn is currently snow covered.

If this keeps up, I'm getting a snowmobile next year laugh

We barely have any snow on the ground here. Maybe 1/4". JKB, wait 'till the end of next week. That storm is supposed to be bigger than this one. I know all you are seeing is lake effect now tho.
