252.0. "BIG FISH THROUGH THE ICE!!" by WMOIS::LANGELIER_B () Tue Jan 26 1993 07:45

    
    
    
      TO FELLOW ICE FISHERMAN,
    
    
            MY FATHER AND I READ AN ARTICLE ON SOUTH POND IN STURBRIDGE IN
      THE FISHERMAN WEEKLY. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT THE ARTICLE STATED
      THAT YOU COULD CATCH 10-20 LB PIKE AND 8-10 LB BROWNS. SO WE DECIDED
      TO HEAD DOWN THERE TO SEE WHAT THIS PLACE WAS ALL ABOUT. WE GOT DOWN
      THERE AROUND 7:30 AND THERE WERE ALREADY ABOUT 60 PEOPLE ON THE ICE.
      WE THEN PROCEEDED OUT TO FIND A SPOT OUT ON THE ICE. AFTER WE WERE
      DONE SETTING UP WE KICKED BACK AND WAITED. SOME TIME AROUND 9:30 OR 
      SO MY FATHER NOTICED ONE OF HIS POLAR TIP UPS WAS SPINNING BUT, THE 
      FLAG WAS STILL DOWN. APPARENTLY THE FLAG WAS STILL CAUGHT UNDER THE 
      PLASTIC LIP OF THE TILT. ANYWAY THE FISH WAS RUNNING CRAZY SO I GRAB
      THE LINE AND YANKED. YES IT WAS A GOOD YANK, AS I PROCEED TO PULL IN
      THIS THAT SEEMED TO BE A MONSTER. AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN OF PULLING IN 
      LINE, I COULD SEE THIS MONSTER AND RELIZED THIS MIGHT BE A WALL MOUNT
      FOR ME TO HANG. WELL HERE IS THE OUT COME
    
    
                               FISH: LANDLOCK SALMON
                               SIZE: 27 IN
                               WT.   7 LBS 11 OZ
    
        HE IS NOW BEING STUFFED FOR THE WALL. SO I WILL GIVE MY
       RECOMMENDATION AND SAY IF YOU ARE AN ICE FISHERMAN YOU SHOULD HIT
       SOUTH POND BEFORE THE ICE IS OVER......

    Lo and Behold, the CLAN is still around and fishing strong. As you 
    can see from the "Son of King's" note, we are out to catch the big
    ones.  Even "Pardo", wants to now join the "Clan"
