Super User .dsaavedra. Posted May 26, 2010 Super User Posted May 26, 2010 theres this little half acre pond next to a career and technical school i go to every day (i go for natural resources management), and sometimes my instructor lets us go out there and fish. well we had our commencement yesterday but we still have to go there for the rest of the week. since we didn't have anything planned my teacher let us go out there and fish the whole time, and he was fishing with us. using my ultralight that i keep in the classroom i caught 3 tiny bass, less than 10" which was the average and a couple bluegill. then i tied on a 5" wacky worm and said "i'm goin after the big boys". not even 10 minutes later it got absolutely crushed next to a submerged tree about 10 feet away from me. after one extremely awesome powerful fight (this is ultralight gear remember) i hopped in the water and lipped this fish. absolutely the biggest fish i've ever seen in this pond! my teacher said he saw something that looked about 4lbs cruising the shorelines a few weeks ago but we thought he was exaggerating (he's known to do that!). when i caught it one of the kids i was with ran inside to get a scale, so i was lipping the fish underwater in the meantime. and when he came back, just as he got over the fence to give it to me the fish did one mighty head shake and came out of my grip. oh well, i'd say the fish was a solid 3.5lbs. it had such a gut! thats one productive pond! i ended up with 5 bass, my friend tyler got 11, my friend chris got 4, and my teacher got 2 (on a minnow that he made himself, after i convinced him to let the class build our own lures as a project a few months ) anyway, thats my story for today Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 26, 2010 Super User Posted May 26, 2010 Great story. Congrats on the catch. Nothing like hooking a big one on an ultralight setup to get your heart pumping. Keep on sending those stories and pics. Quote
