Man I cant type, I meant to say: The way this little guy fought he felt much bigger.

Nice fish! That's what I say about the smallies I catch.

Good job.

Hey datsun, that's one of the thrills of fishing, sometimes you just don't know. Thanks for posting and god luck on your outings.

Hey datsun....just picking your brain since you know Blackman's so well. I grew up in Snohomish and fished there a lot when I was young. I've always heard stories from the old days where some really nice largemouth bass where caught or seen there (I've never got or seen one there). 20+ years ago I was on the lake right after it was poisoned, and everybody was boating around and grabbing dying fish in nets. I saw some huge perch, but no bass. But since then I have not heard of bass being caught there from anyone. However, newer copyright 2009 fishing guides show bass and perch are in the lake. Just wondering what you know. Can perch be caught there? But more importantly, what have you heard/seen about the bass fishing there. Just wondering, it sure looks like it would be good...and I would sure appreciate any info you could share. Thanks, John
