Anything over 8" is a nice eating size, IMO. The first bottles of Coca Cola contained 3.5 grams of cocaine. That's how our grandparents were able to walk to school uphill both ways in the snow.

I have fished Merrits Mill Pond many years ago, but never caught any record sized fish. I hear that it has changed a lot since then.

I kept some the other day for a nice lunch. Remove head and gut them than on the grill for a very short time. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
