I went fishing for more shiners yesterday at the local lake and had a LMB take a swipe at one that was on the light rod. I grabbed a heavier rod and threw the same shiner back in, hooked to a larger hook and 8# line. I caught the LMB, I'm guessing 20"-21" and less than 4#. Big head, smaller body, but he would fill out in the pond, I thought. I put him in the holding cage (4'x4'x4') and as soon as I turned around he jumped out. I guess I need to make a top for it, this is the 2nd time a LMB about this size did that to me.
