mattm Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Had an hour or so to kill after work today and ran up to the pond. All my gear was on the boat so I grabbed an old reel my buddy had over here and put it on one of my old junk rods laying around. Glad the stuff was laying around the garage. In less than 10 casts this momma hit. Scales were on the boat but I'm guessing she would of been high 5's low 6's. Biggest ever out of the pond was 4lbs 8oz. Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted March 9, 2009 Super User Posted March 9, 2009 Not bad for the first fish of the day! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 9, 2009 Super User Posted March 9, 2009 Next time try putting the fish next to your rod or a dollar bill, anything to indicate tie size of the fish. There is no way to tell how big that fish is. Quote

There is no way to tell how big that fish is. Agreed, but I wasn't planning of catcing anything of size. There is noway to tell size without a scale so it really didn't matter to me. I was pretty convinced the fish was 6 something and frustrated with myself for not being prepared. Even with a rod or dollar bill we will never know for sure. In this case you will just have to trust me. Sorry. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 10, 2009 Super User Posted March 10, 2009 Nice catch. Never overlook the local neighborhood ponds. Quote
Sfrazier Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 can't you tell? that rock is a 6 foot boulder nice fish Quote

Ready2Fish Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 nice fish!! how about a pic of that rock being measured :) Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 That is a great fish. I hope to get one like that this afternoon. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 Small ponds can yield surprising results. I was teaching a friend how to use a baitcaster while on a lunch break last fall, and this 4 lb. 5 oz. LMB took my jig while I was explaining pitching, LOL. Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Very cool. That's what makes ponds so much fun. Just never know.... Nice healthy looking fish. Eddie Quote
