tate Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I lost the bet for first fish on the new boat. My son Mike caught this one last night....we measured, pics and back he went. He was a biggie for sure...may have been a state pin ..... but glad we released him.... I guess he has bragging rights for a while. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 WOW! Very nice Tate. What were the measurements? I did the same thing earlier this year, I caught what was most likely my new PB and would have qualified for a state pin, but I did the same as you, I sent her on her way to do her thing. Congrats to your son! Quote

Congrats to your son! Thank you ...... She was 21 x 16.5 ..... the girth was amazing. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 Nice that puts her around 6.1 if my math is correct very nice catch Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 Nice fish. Excellent way to start the year. Many years ago, 1965 - 1969, my wife and I lived in Holliston. Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 We live on the Holliston border .... you must have fished Winthrop ... my old friend Bruno caught a state pin fish in that place. Yes, I did fish Lake Winthrop. There was an older gent, Mr. Kingsbury, who had property with a garden and a small vegetable stand at one end of the "lake". He let me keep my jon boat on his property. The road to his property dead ended at his place. There was a small outlet stream on the opposite side of the road. Maybe it was an inlet, I'm not sure. There were some nice bass in it. Is that where the fish in the photo was caught. Is there a public access to Winthrop? I might run up there with my canoe for old times sake. Quote

That must have been convenient leaving your boat there.... my sons fish was not in Winthrop .... we never had much luck there but there is public access. If you are in downtown Holliston on 16 traveling East ... take a right at the Bank across from Mobile .... you go up there a couple streets and one of the rights will bring you down to a small park/beach. The lake will be on your left and the ramp is to the back left of the parking lot. Let me know and I can get exact directions. - brian Quote
