Definition of tench

Yep..Tench.
A few years ago, I was fishing Bantam, and I hit a school of smallmouths on a hump.
I hooked a Tench, and it looks like a smallie coming in. Got it in the boat, and I thought..WTF is this thing.
Posted on another fishing site, and was told that this is a Tench. The DEP knows about these things in Bantam, for several years now.
To the best of my knowledge, the DEP did not stock them..theory is someone put these fish in there illegally.
wow, never heard of the fish. Interesting.
Pretty cool - Now I need to catch one!
Has anyone ate one or can you?
If it taste like fish,smells like cologne...no wait that's not it give me a minute....
Fresh water fish not my favorite things to eat, give some nice flounder or black fish, that's good eaten.
Somebody had to steer this in the direction of the Beaver thread.
We can always count on notme to add the sophomoric humor and make us laugh,....and that's a good thing.
BTW - the older you get, like my age, the MORE power the fishing rod has over everything else,...or is it the other thing becomes useless? Maybe both!
Actually that's my lake, spelling is incorrect :)
Another thread gone south!
I feel its useless posting hunting related info.
I remember a poster complaining about the same thing about a Month ago.
Actually it was a fishing thread.
Just having a little fun, lighten up.
I was talking with a guy about his 13th heart attack in 3 months ,by the end of lunch we were discussing the adhesive properties of a buger that wont flick off your finger at 70 mph...people are way too serious..and now back to our regularly scheduled program
Notme, just keep rolling the sucker up and it can be flicked no problem lol.
Can't be done spike..that little nasal oyster will just adhere to a different finger...lol
Note to sel: Do not shake hands with Not.
Spikes right. But sometimes the flick goes to the back of your hand or something... and you only notice it when depositing a check at the bank or picking up coffee at a drive through when handing over the $. Oops.
Not that I've ever experienced this.
I'm just guessing that could happen.
Yeah.
That's it.
