Pond Boss

Landed a new pond record CC today! 27 Inches, 8 lbs 12 oz, caught on a trimmed brown tube jig/Game Fish Chow pellet bait (I hate to try to qualify it as a "fly" when it was below a bobber and a sinker). I had a knot break above the hook just as I got her to the edge of the pond and managed to grab a hold of her before she thought about wriggling back in to the water.

P.S. Thanks to NEDOC for the bait idea!
