well, today after the storms stopped, i went to a golf coarse and fished the ponds, armed with a bag of tiki dipsticks in redbug/chartruese and my rod/reel, i made my way around to each pond. the first cast out, WHAM huge 9 lb'er

the adreniline was pumping, i noticed that there was beds all over the place, and the water was relativly clear and i could see the fish on the bed, but on alot of beds there was a fish that i dont know what it is. it had a green head all red dorsal fin extending from head to tail, and a red tail. its body was spotted all over, the first thing that came to mind was a peacock bass, but this is to far north for those? any iideas? any way. i proceeded to catch a 7lber, 2lber, 1lber, 6lber, 8lber, 4-5lber, and 6-7lber. i was stoked. these are the days that remind me of why i love to bass fish so much. all the bass fought extremely hard making for a great day of fishing. it was great. i was amazed at how many beds there were. if you looked in the water, all you saw were sandy areas kinda dug out alittle with either a bass, or that other kind of fish on it. i didnt have a scale so all the weights were estimated, but im almost sure they are right. i do have pics of the bigger ones, except for the 9lber because that was the first cast and didnt have my phone on me, i had to run back to my uncles house and get it. i am gunna go out again tommorrow and i hope i have the same luck. it was a great day of fishin.
