I catch a ton of bass, crappie, bluegill, redear, shell cracker , and catfish out of the 3 acre pond behind the house.
Other than a BIG ass catfish that I caught last summer (on a little rooster tail), this is probably the biggest I’ve ever caught.
Naysayers will clock it at 4 pounds. I’ve caught a pile of 4 pounders. This certainly went close to 6.
Nice fish. And she wasn’t 12 inches off the bank. I hadn’t closed the bale before she was 12 feet out.
She turned the ‘yak, and pulled me around a bit. A really fun catch. My neighbor was fishing (drinking) with me, and took some pics.
I am 99% sure this fish broke me off 2 weeks ago when she swam down and got me hung up in a bunch of thick moss.
Not this time!!!

Looks like you were late to set the hook. [emoji48]

Did you cut the line to take her home for dinner?

She just barely has the back of her throat caught, and with pliers I coulda gotten it out easily. I just cut the line.

oh, by the by... I think every fisherman's goal should be to catch a bass bigger than their kids were when they were born.. Both my kids weighed about 7 1/2.. I've caught two over 8.. That may not seem like much to you "southern" boys - but I live in the "black hole" of bass fishing where a true 5 is a *big* bass. ;)
