If you want a copy, PM me with your mailing address. I have no idea just how bullet proof it might be. It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine.

I explained in the add that I only want to find a couple of people who are really ethical catch and release fishermen/women who would really appreciate the fun of catching large HBG and maybe keeping one to mount. I plan to deal with the liability issue by having people sign a waiver. Thanks to Dave for his willingness to share. I tried to sound very serious about being picky who I let fish my pond. I hope that doesn't take all the fun out but we'll see how it goes. Being that I'm retiring at the end of the month and my pension doesn't start right away I could use a few bucks to bridge the gap.
