Its a cool pond with a lot of bass, mostly small but fun fish. There sometimes are a few surprises at this pond, Hunter and I were lucky to get a few on this day. We were throwing an XPS rattle trap type bait(identical color as on the early spring bass pro catalog if you rec'd it), and a frenzy of the same type. Imidiately we start catching the typical stuff. Hunter was a little rusty so I threw a big cast on his rod and got bit and set the hook and handed the rod off to my boy, and it was on!! it turned out to be a pig (for us at least). He got it in and we took pics and released it. I thought well that was the big one for the day. HA! was I wrong after several catches I threw near a submerged rock on the windy side of the pond and I got hit and I thought snagged but I it was on again this one I got in and it was a real hog got pics and released. A couple casts later another hook up and another nice bass a good bit smaller but at least 2.5 lbs. I am a real believer in these XPS extreme baits it seemed to have more action than even a real ratl trap. I will be buying more in dfferent colors for sure. I am sending the pics I hope they get in so you all can check them out.
Man it felt good to get out and get into them, I gotta get on the river soon
SEE YA Too Big
