I made it out to my neighbor's pond this morning. Left the kayak at home and just fished from the bank. Caught one really healthy 11" LMB on a spinnerbait. Tried several other lures and finally started getting some action on a small roadrunner (bottom spin) jighead and a black/chartreuse slider grub. Landed another 10" LMB and lost two more about 6" and one 3+# right at the shoreline. Also caught a 6" RES.

I had the two LMB and RES in an aerated cooler to bucket stock in my pond. When I went to check on them, the two LMB were missing. I found one under the car and can only assume they somehow were able to get out and the other was able to flip its way back into the pond. I was really looking forward to bumping my LMB headcount.

.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
