Lake Frank Bass Was a Fighter

I caught this nice Largemouth Bass today around 6:00 pm at Lake Frank in Rockville on a lipless crankbait! After a hard fought battle and a quick picture, the fish was released.

One Hefty Rockfish
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Middle Bay
Location: Flag Ponds
Here is the 49 inch, 51 lb. rockfish that I caught off Flag Ponds on Thursday evening, May 2nd. I was fishing on the "Pride and Joy" - a 1975 Mako 20. After 30 years of fishing on the Chesapeake, this is definitely my biggest trophy rockfish! I checked the fish in at Tyler's Tackle Box in North Beach, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the Maryland Fishing Challenge on September 7th, 2013!
It appears that if I had caught this fish in the MSSA tournament on Friday, I would be significantly wealthier man today…. Oh well!

Baby Rock at Waters Edge
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Upper Bay
Location: Waters Edge Community Park
I was at Waters Edge Community Park casting chicken liver on 5/4/13 and was on the rocks and sat my rod. About a 1/2 hour later, my rod tip began going crazy and I reeled this fish in. I think it may have been a little fat for the length. Also I found this partial skeleton. I think it may be a carp. Could Someone tell me What it is?
