| Frank's 3 lb 12 oz Smallmouth |
My brother George took Frank and I to his favorite place to fish, Wachusett Reservoir. George would go there every week to catch lake trout or salmon. To catch them you throw out your line with a bobber and wait for a trout to come by. Not a very exciting way to fish. So Frank was bored and decided to cast a line in and try to catch something with a spinner. He kept working the shore while George and I sat there and watched him. George looked at me and said "Persistent isn't he" I laughed and agreed as Frank worked his way out of our sight. A little time passed and then we saw Frank walking back carrying a big fish - a 3 lb 5 oz smallmouth! He let it go and went back to his fishing. A few minutes later, he came back with an even bigger one - 3 lb 12 oz! At this point, George and I picked up our rods and tried casting from shore too, but we didn't have the luck (or persistence) that Frank did that day.
