A few years ago I attended a weeding in New Hampshire when my date wasn�t looking I took off and fished some of the local ponds. The water was crystal clear and the mix of fish were Small Mouth as the main predator and Yellow Perch as the primary forage fish. The Yellow Perch were very thick and were happy to bite. The Small Mouth had grown to quite a large size 2 to 4 pounds because of the numerous small perch that fit inside their mouths better then large sunfish. I know that two to four pound bass wont get F1 fans pumped up (until you hook one) but this is a great mix for folks that want to catch a lot of fish that fight well. Of coarse you would have to have a clear cool pond to pull it off.
