4-7-22, Cedar
I was frustrated because my Upper Potomac River float today was cancelled. That's 2 trips cancelled this week! 
So I thought to myself, the weather sucks so I did what Curly would have done. Go pond fishing!
It was raw out...hands got cold immediately from the cold misty rain.
I was fishing a Ned rig but fished it like a jig (moving it slow like Curly does his PnJ).
Didn’t have tape or scale but the other pic is a reference.
I think an easy 5 pounder and maybe more...I will never know for sure.
Clearly the biggest pig I have caught at Cedar.
She was fat and I didn't want to handle her a lot so back in the water she went. Oh, and 1st AV fish of the year.
Time to go fishin' again!

At 1st, I thought I was snagged when I set the hook (very faint pick up). Then it moved. Then it peeled line as the rod is a ML. Carp maybe? Then she surfaced.

Who needs the Potomac when you can catch a fish like that almost in your backyard...

Very, very nice fish! Love the persistence! When one location is not hitting, try another.

Nice fish! That's a great way to start of the AV fishing reports!
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Went out today looking for some bass on the 7wt. Had a couple of bites and then this guy.
My friend Jamie was out and caught a monster red ear. I'm hoping to get the pic.
