Lol I know my largemouth. I catch dozens and dozens every year. Speaking of Carp, big fish are back in our spot. My bud sent me this this morning from his FB page
Biggest fish I have caught was a 52 lb striper. Back in the day we regularly picked up 30 to 40 lbers on Eels off of Fishers Island. Me in the red shirt, had to have been 1985 or so
I once caught a 33 inch Pickeral 4.5 lbs, won the fishing contest at work , 75 bucks, have only caught 1 Northern Pike in my life and lost it at the boat at Pachaug Pond, huge fish. Pretty sure I know my fish, have been fishing for 55 years plus.
Hosta really took off this year. We had to replant small ones last year as something ate every single bulb. Garden is producing like crazy. Another garden full of hot and sweet peppers out in the front of the house is loaded with peppers. Need some natural rain here though.
You can sell that house for a million and build one for 500k and be in snow heaven plus excellent summers. You have become alot like me. Eat at home, walks with the dogs, simple stuff. Put a pool in and you won't need to leave the house. Happy retirement it really is like being a teenager all over, minus the hotties lol
