Do not believe I've had a 75 fish day at this Big Pond in well over 10 years! Especially in sunny hot weather! Well done! Was it difficult to work a football jig in all that grass, even down to 20 'deep? Nice big fish! Any pictures? I have only logged in one 7# fish from this water this year, posted 4/11/08, usually several by this time. However, have not been able to fish it as often or as early as I normally have in the past. I've literally caught 8000 plus fish out of this pond and not a single one was a SM! When the pond opened up they advertised as having SM but have not personally seen one. I often wondered why not. When I was a kid I used to fish 10-mile creeks and little Seneca for hold over trout,fall fish, creek chubs or anything else that would bite and on rare occasion would catch a dink SM. However this was 20 years before they built the damn/lake. I usually avoid that place like a plague on the weekend with all the canoes, yaks, tour boat, and especially the pain-in-the-### motorized park boat patrol! It's usually tough enough in the gin clear water this time of year with out all the extra surface commotion. Good Job. Good Luck, Jackson!!
