Friends harvested 15 smaller LMB the other day. Largest LMB caught & released around 3 lb. They enjoyed a tough fight with a 23.5 inch HSB. Fortunately, they released it quickly. They also caught several giant CNBG which were returned.
Foot control trolling motor bit the dust, irreparable. Replaced with similar power hand control motor which works quite well. New mounting bracket fabricated by my handyman friend, who actually caught the big HSB.
Pond is still close to 3 feet low. Needs a lot more rain!
