Ward,
Great pond fish, great.
In addition to an exciting experience, and it is very exciting, the next best thing is that now, every time you make a cast in that pond, you know the possibility exists to catch another or even larger LMB.
That expectation/anticipation, at least for me, changes how you look at fishing in that pond....any given cast may result in another great fish...and that expectation is absolutely priceless!!
