I did a little surfing this morning on the habits of the {Yellow Perch}. I found an article from Field and Stream, I quote,“The all-tackle world record yellow perch, taken in 1865, weighed 4 pounds 3 ounces and is the oldest freshwater sport-fish record in the books. Caught in the Delaware river in New Jersey, the only reference made to the angler, was a young man the went buy the name TD”, hmmmm could it be ??

I don’t think TD is 100+ years old, but could be, must be somethign in his gene pool? Teach me the secret, 100+ years of knowledge in the game, that would be wicked!
[;)]Could it be that the legend of TD preceeds even TD?
It really is too bad we don’t have a body of water that consitently produced fish even half that size.
**The first float tubes that TD started using were made of straw. But, when the big bad W… came it blew his tube to smitherens.
Then, TD made a float tube out of wood. And, the native americans had a name for them called Canoe.
When the war years came(pick a war ie 1812, civil, WWI…), he found an old inner tube from a bicyle(TD wasn’t quite growed up yet)…
Did I mention the tube he made out of styrofoam? It wouldn’t his coffee warm enough.
With computers and the space program, TD consulted NASA…

Pat you have done it again! You brought a big old smile to my face what did you do with tube that looks like a lady I am intersted in tring it out. I have a patch maybe it would improve my luck![;)]
“I’m like Edison. He tried a thousand different ways to make a light bulb before he found one that worked.”
It is lucky that he did, otherwise we would be watching our color TVs in the dark!
Fishing was made all of you nutss[;)] I should say US.
