Well, looks like I'll have too join Youtube later this year and make a short movie with me in it and co-starring some of the locals just to quiet all of the nay sayers. Until then I'll just keep my mouth shut. It really gets me when someone craps all over what you have to say in a condescending way. All I can say is during my high school years, when I lived in Northeastern PA, I ate, slept, and sh*t in the woods more times than anyone know. Just a backpack with a one man tent, cheap folding stove, chicken noodle soup, map, no compass, and an ultra-lite spinning rod. Yeah I spent more than a day at a time exploring the wilds on occassion.

What's with the tent, ya girl? ;-) J/K, I hear ya Jake. On the plus side, the naysayers are people who you probably will never see on a trip like that, so there's more trout for us. :-D

I am scaredy, I had some bad experiences in the woods a few times, and so every time I hear a noise at night in the dark I tense up, cause I'm a scared of the big bad wolf. It's a comfort thing. Like a night light.

No, that pool pictured in my avatar is on the WB of Fishing Creek in Sullivan Co. You're talking about one big brookie though. Congrats on that one!

Jake, were you being sarcastic when you said you had some bad experiences in the woods? If you were serious, what did you experience? Either way, I like a tent on those types of excursions as well. It's nice to stay dry if it happens to rain! ;-)

Let's just say that I'd had seen enough things in the daytime, bears, coyotes, bobcats, several coyotes together, wild dogs, really frickin' big bears, skunks,.... ok let's just say when I'm alone in the woods at night it's just really creeepy and my imagination (It's not alway's my imagination) gets the better of me. I could tell you about being 14 and riding my bike down desolate dark mountain roads tightly clenching my 4 cell maglite as sounds of twigs snapping nearby in the darkness fill me with frightfull curiousity, because I couldn't help sneaking out to ride several miles to see my girlfriend. Or me and best friend taking a shortcut from my house in pitch darkness over the hill to the dirt rd with two backpacks full of beer, trying to save time walking to a party. I won't tell the rest of that one, you'll either **** yourself laughing at my expense or you won't believe it, but neither of us would go near the side of the dirt rd. as we walked swiftly afraid to speak a word untill finally a Chevy Blazer came flyin' through and we waved it down like a rescue chopper. There are certain places that I always had a very large heavy bowie knife on me. Nothing gets rid of the heebie jeebies like and M9 holstered on your side.

I got one 12" from a small stream in the Tionesta area. It has been several years since I have got one over 10".
