I have some fond memorys of ice fishing on Little Sebago with Al. One time in particular sticks in my mind and I will tell this story over and over. Al, Al Burnham & myselve were ice fishing on Little Sebago by Grape Island and I was checking one of my traps. The 2 Al's were together on the other side of our trap line. While I wasn't looking they pulled up my trap and proceeded to put a dead Cod fish on my line that they had brought with them from the docks in Portland. Of course I had no idea that they had it with them. They yelled "hey Bill you have a flag". I ran over and set that hook and pulled out that fish. They then tryed to convince me that this fish was a very large Brown Trout. I at that time had not seen any very large Brown Trout so I believed them until they started laughing so hard they were almost crying. I knew at that point I had been Had. I still Ice fish with my 2 boys and tell that story often. I will miss you Allen
Your good friend, Bill Murray
