Good reading. Did anyone else trip back into an episode of Tom and Jerry? My son and I laughed and laughed on rubber banding the mouse. Great fun. To answer a couple of your questions: From a sport canoe. The pond's creek fed with an overflow at the far end. Here's what I've learned: - I missed a big chunk of my life... how did we get from $5 Rapala's to $20 swim baits? I had to actually Bing "swim baits" to bring my self into the 21st century. - Big lure = Big fish - Gonna get me a Stanley Ribbit and a swim bait as soon as my wife give's me my allowance... and I do her chores. - Wearing dark clothing. Well, I'm on my way, boyz. Wish me well and I WILL be reporting back. Now, wherz them rubber banz...

lol Yeah, I didn't even think about that. 5lbs is a good size bass for me up here in N Indiana. VA would be very different I suppose. Thanks for the advice.

I live in a small town of ~250 people and we have 5 large ponds in our lake association. The largest, across from me, is ~8.5 acres, is only 12' at it's deepest point and half of it is ~3-6' deep. There have been some 5lb LM come out of this pond and I want one of them on my wall. Sorry to offend but I've been catching and releasing up to 2lb LM's on these ponds for ~20 years and I'd like one lunker for the man cave. There's not much cover, one peninsula, the lenght runs E&W and there's a little shade on 1/3rd of the N side. Some cat tails and we keep the Milfoil under control w/ herbicide (Reward - that's another post there). Crank baits and worms are my got to baits but the lunker eludes me. Who can help the kid (alright, I'm 50 something) catch his trophy? By the way, I like the site, layout, and attitude here on BR.
