Maybe she was involved with part of a Stroh's 30-pack???
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."

She could have cast an awesome shade over them.
Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.

Nice! We're going to have to gut one of those soon and see what it's been eating on.

stick should have put a can of Hamms in the pike's mouth for reference.

Now you know that's a cop-out.
Don't you wonder if it's eating any Black Crappie? I know you do.

Hot from the pond this afternoon (10 minutes ago), the stick catches this 34" NP. That photo causes real serious envy. IMHO, their just isn't any prettier fish than a NP. There also just isn't any fish any more fierce, except maybe a big fat musky. Fantastic!

I agree with your sentiments re pike and musky If we are talking freshwater fish
However, tie the tails of a 10 lb tarpon and pike together And see what happens

Fishing basin near the deepest area in the pond. Once again on a #6 red glow Frostee jig. Kind of slowed crappie action before and after, but I would not hang around NP either. We also have gold, glow blue, and glow chartruese Frostees on, but the NP definately prefer r-e-d, red.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

Nice NP, and on a rig with no leader. Impressive hookset and managing him thru the hole!

Dwight and Stick....looks like some nice BCP actions for you guys this winter. Those pike are awesome as well.
Question from another MNer...Would you attribute that great fisherery to Hamms (the beer refreshing), Coors Light (frost brewed), or another brand not pictured? I am not over looking ANY details as I Boss my ponds.

Corona The Corona Reef is dominated by Corona bottles. There are many other brands of beer bottles represented, but Corona bottles rule the reef. The Corona Reef is a unique structure consisting of thousands of spent beer bottles. Each bottle that ends its life as a beer container lands on Corona reef and is reincarnated as the home for numerous organisms. Some of the organisms live on the outer surface of the bottle and others live inside of the Corona Reef homes.

Out of pure nosiness how many cappies smaller than those pictured do you usually catch to get those 17 harvested in the picture? Plus are the smaller crappies discarded or C&R?? Also more nosiness; did you ever measure the gape width on one of your larger northerns? I'm curious as to what the gape is for a 34"-38" NP.

The rule is to keep perch, bluegill,& crappie. I clean almost every fish unless it is really a runt then it goes in the gut pile. Have never measured that. Catch-measure-picture-release. I think it is pretty stressful for them so we always feel good when we shoot them back down the hole.

Those be some weird rules, stick.
I can see, and agree with, taking all crappie, but the bluegill and the YP are great forage species.
