My most sincere condolences to the Scott family. Dave was my close friend and fishing buddy for over 40 years. He was the best Perch fisherman I knew on both the ice and soft water. He almost always filled 5-gallon buckets full of 8-13 inch Perch everytime he went out on his bost.
He would sell them, and when they asked where he caught them, he would always say "in the lake". Never divulging the exact location. He know St. Albans Bay like the back of his hand.
Dave could also filet any kind of fish. Perch, bass, pike, or bullhead and you would never find a bone when eating the fish he fileted.
He was a Army veteran, and a card carrying Abnakie Indian. I am proud to say that Dave was my friend and I will miss him greatly. RIP Dave.
