My first big fish. This was in Maryland where I grew up. Our pier on the Severn River was my home base - my fortress. From there I explored the Severn in my aluminum 12 foot Sears "Sea King" powered with oars and a 6 horsepower mid 50's vintage Mercury "Mark Six." The cowling was green and everything else was silver. There were no spare parts available. Here I'm holding my first carp. I remember it was hurting my hand to hold it up. But it didn't matter; at last I had conquered the mighty carp. Thus, I became obsessed with this species. At this time I had no idea down which path this would lead. |
