the following results: 1st place - New York with 30, Second place - Michigan

who was this party crasher? |
Saturday
about 2 P.M. after catching a 10 inch small mouth bass off the pond bridge, I
caught this 20inch approx 4# large mouth bass. Ken Russell was my witness and
Alice took the pictures, after which I released the big guy back into the pond,
but not before I named him "Ole Mo". If someone wishes to rename the fish they
should catch him in order to do that .. Joe Stump
