Good thing Dave Gonnella “threw a few fishing poles in the minivan’’ Saturday. “My two sons look forward to your fish-of-the- week column every week,’’ he said. “We finally landed a fish we thought would be worthy of sending.’’
Using 4-pound line, he dropped a 1/32-ounce, painted, round jighead in before his dad even realized it had no soft plastics on it. Didn’t matter. Within minutes, Joe hooked a 26-inch brown trout.“Luckily, the fisherman next to us had a net to help land the fish,’’ said Gonnella, who estimated it at 6.5 pounds from fish charts.
