A family friend has a small pond in his yard, maybe 2 acres in size. The pond is absolutely loaded with huge everything, from catfish, bass, bluegill, crappie, and perch. He hand feeds the pond daily with bread, chicken livers, and the sorts.
All the bass in there average 3-4 pounds, but do you think they fill touch any sort of artificial bait? Nope. Topwaters, jerkbaits, Keitechs, squarebills, Senko's, nothing.... But if you put on a split shot and a dough ball. Hold on, because you're in for a good time.
