burce Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Funny thing...went to my usual spot but it was closed for police dog field training. So I was mad and had to go to the pond next to it. Waded in since the water level was low and threw a football jig, weightless trigged senko and got nothing. It got darker and I threw a black popper (not sure what it is - solid black, red lip, hook in middle and on end that is covered in a sparkly white skirt type thing) and caught a dink pictured first. Was about to leave so I threw it at some really shallow grass and got another one on that felt nice, but he came off . Threw it again and BAM immediately got this big one! New PB and I'm super pumped after not catching anything my last few times out!! Woohoo!! :D smaller one, maybe 1.5lbs? didn't measure now the PB! coming in at 6.3lbs using the calculator on this site. 21inches long, 14.5inches around Goin back to the spot tomorrow night for some more! Topwater is awesome!! :D Quote

burce Posted July 7, 2010 Author Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks everyone! I was incredibly excited, and surprised she took it in such shallow water. I was going crazy once I saw her Can't wait to fish some more topwater tonight Quote
burce Posted July 7, 2010 Author Posted July 7, 2010 I almost lost her a couple times on the shore trying to take a picture haha. I would be lipping her and she would freak out and flop around and it was real hard to hold. Now if I can just find my sandal in the mud tonight ;D Quote

I might use my car headlights tonight for light, I don't think I have a camping lantern anymore...it gets REAAAAL creepy out on this pond at night thigh deep in water Quote
