And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My grandfather held the Guinness record in North America for a native brookie in the 60's, lost it to s fellow in Canada, but that fish above is pretty close to a record from its size, brook and river natives tend to be smaller than lake natives, pop's record fish had a really deep belly, fish above has a hunch back, hard to se the bottom jaw, but its likely a male for lack of a deep belly. The big brookie we catch are living under deep ovehang banks along a rather slow river, they get that beautiful orange fins, bery dark with spectular color spots, they are real spooky, you almost have to hunt them, creep up very slowly, jut sit for half an hour lt them settle down, and they strike very hard so you ne to be lightning fast setting the hook or they spit it out wen they run to where they hide to eat away from other trout. extremely satisfying catching one of those lunkers, they can't resist a big old nightcrawler, as they get that size the bait needs to be large also, costs them too much energy to go after small bait, they just won't bite. But that deep orange meat they get is to die for.
Thats a dandy. Bet that meat is deep orange, mmmm!
ReplyDeleteThat IS a gorgeous fish.
