Caught this bass today in a smaller pond. I believe this pond to be well over several decades old, but have no idea how old. I found it on some property the company I work for owns. I think the pond is probably between a half an acre and an acre. Just my guess. Seems to be around 6 feet or so maybe at the deepest spot.
Caught this bass on my first cast. The fish fought really hard. I noticed that the fishes eyes seemed to be closer to his mouth than normal. Is it just me or do you guys agree? I released the fish and the 4 other smaller bass I caught. All fought really hard and were healthy. I don't think this pond gets any pressure and is very isolated. Plan to go back in March or April with some live bait and see what the bluegill / crappie population looks like.
I always love finding little hidden treasures like this pond.
