Ok great I have another friend down that way he also loves fishing but never goes except when I get down there because he a workaholic. He's getting ready to open a resturant next month and wants me to come down before this months over so we can get some fishing in. I'll mention some of the lakes you've talked about and hopefully he knows where they are.
Did I hear someone say more........... pleaseeeee..
Above LMB easily a 4+ pound fish
The Snook is from a secret spot that has Snook in it year round from this size too true Monsters, I had one back in May that snapped a spinnerbait on me. At first I thought it just spit it, until I looked at the bait, snapped brand new spinner bait, fish was 18~20 inch out of the water and still wasn't showing full body, I'd guess around 32~36 inch fish.
Above small black Crappie aka Speck, Prospect Park - Brooklyn, NY in April of this year 2009. Back in 1999 I caught a black crappie same place, raughly 2.2lbs. Wish I weighed that fish back then, though I did keep it and two other crappies for a few months in a 220gal tank.
I hope you haven't had enough yet because more to come, like I said I go catching not fishing:
Above fish was 3.2lbs
Unfortunately most of the bigger fish pics all have my face in them and I'm somewhat of a shy person . Though I will post the pic of my fishing buddy's walk-on-water trick - actually it's a short vid - yeah I asked him first.
