Another good day of fishing

[rondef]

I went out fishing a private farm pond today and had a great time. I caught 22 lmbs the biggest was 4lbs 8ozs and he was caught on a Cavitron buzzbait (ghost minnow, bleeding bait series). I also caught a 3lb 8oz on a Manns -1 and a 3lb 7oz on a Rage Tail lobster. Unfortunately I lost the biggest bass of the day, he was an easy 8lbs and I had him hooked on a Stanley spinnerbait (blue and translucent white/with blue specs). I was not prepared for the hit because I was talking to my buddy as a result the bass almost ripped the rod out of my hands. I now have a swollen wrist from fighting this bass I did not land.

That is awesome rondef. Glad to hear that things went well for you. Nice fish!   Sorry to hear about your wrist and the big one that got away but I am sure you will be able to get him again.

I don't know if I will be lucky enough to get access to this pond again. The people that own it don't even let their family (kids and grandchildren) fish it more than a couple of times a year, I don't understand that logic. I guess they don't understand that family is the most important thing in life, I feel bad for them.

I put an ace bandage on the wrist last night and took it off this morning. It feels fine now and I will be back out fishing Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks all for the comments. It was a real fun day of fishing, one of my better outings. I plan on buying the owner of the property a gift certificate for a dinner as a thank you for them since they let me fish their pond. Maybe I will be lucky enough to be invited back.

pond fishing is alot of fun.

Much more relaxed, and the fishing can often be very productive.

Nice trip rondef. I'm sure you'll get an open pass to fish there especially if you buy them dinner.

Nice hawg hunting trip there Ron. Get your wrist back in shape and go out and nail that hawg.

Good fish, looks like fun. I need to find me some private farm ponds. The golf courses out here don't seem to understand my needs.
