483.0. "Lunker Landed" by STRATA::WOOLDRIDGE (Pleasure, Spiked With Pain) Mon Mar 11 1996 10:58

     Picture this:  A smiling man with no front teeth, standing in his 
kitchen holding a VERY large brown trout.

From the Worcester Mass Telegram 3/10/96:

     SANFORD, Maine - Robert Hodson holds his state record catch after 
landing it Wednesday while ice fishing at Square Pond in Acton.  It 
took nearly two hours to pull in the 23.5 pound, 35 1/4-inch brown 
trout.  The catch breaks a 38-year-old state record by more than 4 
pounds.

    Is this Acton Mass?? or Acton Maine?
483.2You can't git thar from hereSTRATA::WOOLDRIDGEPleasure, Spiked With PainTue Mar 12 1996 16:014
    Maine I assume, since the article starts out Sanford, Maine.
    I wondered the same thing actually.  The way the article reads, there
    IS room for interpretation.

483.3Definitely Acton, ME...ESB02::TATOSIANThe Compleat TanglerTue Mar 12 1996 16:124
    There's no Square Pond in an Acton, MA, but there is one in an 
    Acton, ME (about 4 miles east of Sanborton, NH, on Rt 109)...
    
    
483.4es mucho grande?STRATA::WOOLDRIDGEPleasure, Spiked With PainTue Mar 12 1996 16:174
    So tell me, any idea the size of this "pond"?  It supported the Loch
    Ness monster...

    I was looking at the Map of Acton Mass for the pond. I thought maybe I 
    would try it out this spring. :-) O well, I'd probably hurt my back
    anyways...
    
    
    	Cod season is just around the corner now..
483.6Big? Yes Square? NopeESB02::TATOSIANThe Compleat TanglerWed Mar 13 1996 10:485
    Es mucho grande for a "pond": looks to be around 2 miles long by
    an average of 1 mile wide (and it doesn't look "Square" by any
    measure)...
    
    
483.7What's in a Name?BRAT::MONBLEAUThu Mar 14 1996 11:512
    Maine gets their ponds and lakes all mixed up. To wit, Great POND is
    the biggest of the bodies of water in the Belgrade LAKES - go figure.
