5.75 from the pond
I went fishing at one of my local ponds today. It is only 100 yards long and I can cast across of it with no problem. It is on provate property and my buddy and I are are the only two with permission to fish it. We usually fish from 6 am until about 10 am one day a weekend. We ended up with our usual 5-6 each, with all of them being between the 1-2 lbs range. Water is crystal clear and only 10 foot at the deepest point. We heard this guy breaking just under the pads, so I tossed a green spro bronze eye into the center of the pads and started twitching it accross to find an opening. This guy came through the pads to take the frog. Thank goodness the 15lbs power pro was on there as he turned my line into a weed eater.
Not the biggest of the year, but the first one when I had a camera

Sadly, it is my post and I even understand you. It is a bad pic that does not show the girth worth a darn. This fish was very wide. I know that with the blue gill spawn going on, I am sure that there were at least one gill eaten before I hooked it. Two of the others we caught showed the gill tail going down the throat.
