They look like mini subs.<br />Problem is, you'll be standing about 5 feet above the water at that point.<br />But then, I'm just suggesting you try fishing for them. I have no clue how you would actually land them.<br /><br />Somewhere in my collection is a picture of a friend holding up a grass carp over 4 feet long. It was caught out of one of the many Park District lagoons...Ken Ghttp://www.waterdogmournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-55486427210179919752016-05-25T08:51:10.270-04:002016-05-25T08:51:10.270-04:00Cathy and Guy, I thank you both for calling bullsh...Cathy and Guy, I thank you both for calling <i>bullshit</i> on my last post. It was whiny and self-serving balderdash; so much so that I've removed it. I equally thank you for your unflinching support.
