Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Over three days, he hauled in three smallmouth bass weighing 4.34, 4.57 and 4.90 pounds, respectively. Bashaw took first in the Coolwater Division team standings (two total entries by 1 to 4 people) by entering his two largest smallmouths.

Bashaw also took second in the Smallmouth Category with his 4.90-pound fish. Jesse J. Carrier of Williamstown, Vt. edged him with a 5-pound bass. Carrier also took the Super Bonus Grand Prize in the Coolwater Division.

Kenny Gaudette of Shelburn, Vt. won the Walleye Category (7.48 pounds), and Robert Briggs of Danville, Vt. had the biggest lake trout (14.15). That helped Briggs claim the Super Bonus Grand Prize in the Coldwater Division.

Jason R. Gamelin of Colchester, Vt. claimed the Northern PIke Category (12.10) while Plattsburgh’s Richard J. Miller III placed fourth with a catch weighing 11.07.

Prue of Newport, Vt. had the best largemouth bass (6.02). Travis L. White of Bristol, Vt. caught the biggest carp (28.21).

Paul Biggs placed first in the Coldwater Division of the Jolley Angler of the Year standings with 1,236.39 points, and John G. Hebert won the Warmwater Division with 1,464.64 points. Joshua Ladd earned the Super Bonus Grand Prize in the Warmwater Division.

Sabrina Warton (Palmer, Mass.) won the Ladies of the Lake Division with an Atlantic salmon weighing 7.60 pounds. That catch also gave her the Junior Coldwater Division. Ryan Badger of Colchester claimed the Junior Coolwater Division (walleye, 6.64), and Jordan Ayer took first in the Junior Warmwater Division (bowfin, 12.05). Melanie Dostie of Milton, Vt. finished first in the Junior Yellow Perch Category (0.81), and Moriah’s Garrett Denton (0.65) was third.
