Rich Mallott, and friends, (all from upstate New York) have chartered the Bunny Clark for many years. Captain Ian Keniston and I have always appreciated having them as a charter, notwithstanding that my former college roommate, Tom "Ollie" Bruyere, is always part of the group (ha ha). On Tim Tuesday, September 15, 2026, we had this group again, after hosting their crew this last spring for haddock fishing. Usually, their crew are anglers we know. This time we had a virgin member, Tim Powers. As is normal during the opening speech, I abused him appropriately to make him welcome before leaving the dock. Tim fished on and off during the trip but not nearly as much as a seasoned Saint Lawrence River Rat would do. At the end of the day, with not much time left in the day, Tim wetted a line, fishing on the leeward side of the boat on a drift over an edge of bottom. When he hooked a fish, I pushed on the back of his pole, trying to make it seem like he had a bigger fish than he did. I got no reaction from Tim. So I left him alone. I actually forgot about him for a bit, realizing later that; "Is Tim still fighting that fish?". At this point his line was trailing way under the boat. Directing traffic, as I do in these situations, I tried to keep other lines on the windward side of the boat from getting tangled with his line. I was successful. Up floated a pollock that was definitely the pool fish in size. Under the boat it disappeared. For a while, this fish was stuck there. Knowing it was the biggest fish, my thoughts were centered around losing the fish in the wheel before getting it aboard. But it did come aboard. And it was bigger than I thought. Pictured on the right, Tim can be seen holding up his 28.25 pound Maine state trophy pollock, the first trophy we have had in a few years and the largest pollock the Bunny Clark has seen on her deck since David Sei (MA) caught a 29 pound pollock on July 5, 2017! In fact, since the 2006 Bunny Clark fishing season, there have only been seven pollock caught on the Bunny Clark that have weighed more. Beside David's fish we had Jared Keniston (ME) with a 32 pounder, in 2007, Thomas Bruno (CT) with a 28.5 pounder, in 2007, me (Tim) with a 34 pounder in 2008, Dave Gray (VT) in 2008 also with a 34 pounder, Chris Kruger (MA) with a 28.5 pounder in 2009 and Tom Donaghy (ME) with a 29 pounder in 2015. Indeed, Tim went from being a nobody on the Bunny Clark to an angler of note! Of course, before the new millennium, we caught many pollock of that size and over. I can't tell you how many pollock I caught that were all 37 pounds on a day in the old boat, before the Bunny Clark, while hoping to land one of 40 pounds! To this day my largest pollock is 38 pounds - which would be a feat in this day and age. During the 1986 Bunny Clark fishing season, our best pollock season on the boat, I filled out 996 Maine state trophy cards for pollock. In those days, a pollock had to be at least 30 pounds to qualify for a state trophy. You could only get one trophy certificate per species per year. I remember in that year alone, Al Robinson (ME), one of my most regular trophy hunters, had over a hundred trophy pollock. There were many anglers who had multiple trophy pollock that year. Our biggest pollock, one that weighed 51.25 pounds, was caught in 1990 by Linda Paul (ME). That fish became an International Game Fish Association, all tackle, pollock world record that stood for eight years before being beaten by a pollock caught off the coast of Norway. It's more exciting that ever when we see a huge groundfish, as the stocks of all our groundfish have diminished greatly over the years. I feel lucky to have lived when so many big cod and pollock were still available. Special fish like Tim's are the kind of fish we like to see on caught on the Bunny Clark.
