Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fishin' 2010

They had a blast even tho they didn't land 75% of the fish that they hooked. They couldn't believe how high they'd jump!

I went and dabbled around in the pond a bit this evening, after a bit of rain. The pond finally is coming up, and there was enough rain to finally bring up the neighbor's pond and overflow into mine. It's still 22 1/4" below full pool.

I tossed out a 2" white twister tail on a #10 unweighted hook on 2# test around the pond edge, hoping to take out some LMB that are small. I caught the LMB that I caught, tagged and transferred last year. It is still thin, but it's now 19" long (gained 1") and it now weighs 3.51# (gained .9#). I took 2 12" LMB out for dinner, one weighed 1.04" and the other .94#. I took out 10 LMB, all 4"-6" as well. I was catching some pretty good sized BG, between 8" and 10", (all Males) when I caught a fish that I thought I had eliminated from the pond:


It was really fat, and weighed 1.16#:


The previous owner stocked them and I did my best to fish them all out. I haven't caught one since 2008 before the pond was renovated. I'm hoping that this is the last one (again).
