Pulled a momma off her bed today!

BBD · 03-26-11, 08:10 PM

I wanna say a solid 6 or 7lbs. My battery died in the scale (dammit)....

Took the jon out today and caught a few fish. Loaded the boat up and proceeded to head home when I decided to hit this local pond by my house and bank fish it. I just found this pond yesterday so I wanted to put to some time into it. Within the first 5 minutes I caught a 2.5ish lber off a fluke.

Then decided to walk around and look for beds since this pond is clear. So I found a bed with no momma. I also saw some snot weed matted in a corner nearby and was gonna throw a frog on it when I heard a big swirl. I looked back and saw "her"! I grabbed the fluke rod (W/red magnum fluke). Crept up and laid that fluke right on the bed. Took about two minutes for her to bite it but she did....................Couple different pics for size comparison.....

I'm gonna go back and catch her tomorrow!

Wow great bass! Love the last pic!! I was really getting concerned you kept 'em at first! hahah!

BBD · 03-27-11, 11:32 AM

Yeah I release everything I catch - just in it for the fun. I'm always by myself so I try to use everything I can to describe how big a fish is in a picture.

I actually don't like eating fish.

Great fish, BBD -- way to go!

Maybe you should throw a little tape measure in that shoe box...

BBD · 03-27-11, 05:21 PM

I really should keep a measuring device with me and a scale with fresh batteries - lol

What a pig! Love the pics, especially the last one! The various pics for size comparison is a great idea. I'll have to remember that.

Awesome fish! Weighed or not, it's bigger than anything I've ever caught!
