Pond Hopper Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Got out with a buddy yesterday to a local big pond that has a ton of standing timber. The buck bass were shallow and hammering spinnerbaits. I tried backing off shore to find some bigger fish, to no avail. Later in the evening when the bite slowed down I got a little nuts and threw on a buzzbait. No more than 10 casts later I hooked into a decent 3 pound fish. After a few more fish I had one just suck the buzzbait under. I took the fish for granted and gave it a half hearted hookset, only to see a quality fish(4-5 lbs) throw the buzzbait on a head shake. About 20 minutes later the same thing happened, but I laid some steel into the fish and landed the only quality fish of the day, going 4 lbs 5 oz. Was a good day with a lot of fish. Quote
