    Default Same Fish, 3rd Time This Year

    There's a 20-inch bass in a local public pond I occasionally fish that has a very distinguishing characteristic...a big split in its pectoral fin.
    I've caught her while flyfishing 3 times this year, the most recent being last night on a blockhead-style popper.
    (October 2)


    Here you can see the fin:


    And here's the mug shots from earlier this year:

    Must be a slow learner. Also shows catch and release works.

    I have to ask. Do you keep this one in a small pen?
    Nice fish. Wonder what caused the fin deformity?

    Dave,
    Has she invited you home to meet her folks? I mean you've taken her out three times. In some places the preacher would start smiling at you when you head thru the reception line after the service.

    Regards,
    Ed
