FINALLY got a fish at night here in VT

Hi folks

I finally caught a fish at night. I've gone out quite a few times
looking for bullhead, haven't gotten any. Last night, around 11:30, my
friend and I were trying different areas in a local pond. Not two
seconds after I cast into a new area did I get a hit - turned out to be
a 16" 2 lb. largemouth bass. Only thing either of us caught, though I
was pretty happy to reel in this big guy.

Now if I can only hook up with those bullhead I want :-)

Check your scale. 16" for two pounds seems a little light.

Cool, thanks. It's not accurate I bet, it's one of those pocket
De-Liars. I'll weigh a bag of rice and see how far off it is.

Well, big for this part of Vermont. Unless I'm fishing Lake Champlain
(which I haven't gotten a chance to do yet)

Oh, OK. I have the privelage of fishing these southern lakes (Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi) where a 2 pounder really doesnt count.
