A 10.5" is a nice one anywhere. Anything over 8" is a nice eating size, IMO. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I have fished Merrits Mill Pond many years ago, but never caught any record sized fish. I hear that it has changed a lot since then.

I hardly ever use a spin cast any more everything is fly rod fishing. I kept some the other day for a nice lunch. Remove head and gut them than on the grill for a very short time. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
