FWIW, I talked to my neighbor today. He said he lost a CC in my pond that was so big he could have fit his fist in it's mouth. The hook pulled out just as he got it to shore.
The bait?
A red and white #4 mepps spinner.............
Lovinlivin, I'll have to check the tree on the island.
Tony, yep, you are correct. I was really surprised that the fish wouldn't eat AM600 with AM500 floating in the pond.
