figure8racer Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Caught this at a new local pond that is turning out to be full of 3+ pounders. Small pond about an acre with at least 1/2 completely covered in moss. caught it first time out with my new spro poppin frog. Weighed 4lbs 10ozs. My buddy caught a 5lbs 10oz 2 days later. I usually fish lakes but hit ponds during the week for a little confidence boost. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv127/figure8racer/410.jpg Quote
figure8racer Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 picture is in my sig if u dont want to go to photobucket. Still trying to figure out how to post directly into my thread. Quote
pudmunk Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Nice, I've been trying to break 4lbs myself. Looks like a nice fish Quote
figure8racer Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks. I just started back up fishing a couple years ago after a 10 year break after high school so i have a lot to learn. Was never too serious about it when younger but i'm as addicted as it gets now. Just need to convince the wife that its a necessary expenditure now Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted August 31, 2010 Super User Posted August 31, 2010 Very nice fish. Spro makes some good products. I caught my PB with one of their frogs. To make your picture show put after jpg put in front of http of your url. Quote

endless Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks. I just started back up fishing a couple years ago after a 10 year break after high school so i have a lot to learn. Was never too serious about it when younger but i'm as addicted as it gets now. Just need to convince the wife that its a necessary expenditure now Same here too. Younger I just go and fish. Then I got me a boat and got into other fishing likes cats and croakers. Then when broke down I got into bass fishing a couple of years ago. Got to say I love but do miss the other fishing too. Anyways nice fish and same here as pudmuck I'm sit in the 4 lb range too. I love me some ponds. The ones in AP hill are very good size and I can get away with traveling my jon boat on top of car. I would think if went on a major road would get a ticket for it not sure though. Quote
Red Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Very nice fish. Spro makes some good products. I caught my PB with one of their frogs. To make your picture show put after jpg put in front of http of your url. Or just copy and paste the last link available from your photobucket page. Just put your cursor over the pic and it should drop down a list of links, get the last one. Nice fish by the way. Quote
Daddyodo Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Wow great fish! What was your retrieval method? Quote
figure8racer Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 I was hopping on top of some crazy thick moss, had cleared it by like 10 feet and was actually reeling in my slack to bring it back in for a recast when she hit it. She hit right as i hit the end of my slack so luckily the hook set. Had to drage through a tone of moss and couldnt even see the fish when i got it to the boat. The whole pile wieghed like 20 lbs Luckily i run 35lb braid on my frog setup ;D Quote
Nine Miler Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Nice bass! Next time, take that picture with the sun behind the photographer, instead of behind you, and you should get a much better result. Quote
figure8racer Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 yeah i need to bring the old digital out too so they arent cell phone pics. Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Very nice. Congrats on your new Pb. Quote
figure8racer Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 THanks! Now i just need to break the 5lb barrier Quote
fishermantony Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Congrats! Man from the pic that fish looks like its over 5lb. Quote
figure8racer Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 Could be. We were weighing it on a cheap wal mart digital and didnt have any way to measure it. Gives me a reason to go out and spend some more money on a scale ;D Quote
