Great Day of Fishing!

Since we are in he worst death ridge probably in history, at least in 2006 there were storms I decided to go fishing at my neighbors pond. It is about 50 ft by 30 ft so it is pretty small but it is a great place to go fishing. I spent about 3 hours out there and caught 38 bass and about 5-6 others that fell off the hook before I could get them in, including two of the biggest bass I have ever had on the line (close to 8lbs likely no exaggeration!!!) I know it sounds like a classic fish story but they were massive and both fell off when they jumped, one I was reaching to grab it and it jumped breaking off the hook and splashing me real good. Now though I am obsessed with finding these fish again and pulling them out of the water to see how big they really are. Who needs a massive lake, when you got a classic farm pond. If anybody is wondering what I was using it was a Rapala shallow running crankbait, I love crankbaits and it is pretty easy to see why. Last year I caught my biggest bass ever in the pond that I am estimated weighed 4-5 lbs. I was lucky to have had my video camera running and caught me getting that fish, I may post a still if I decide to ever put it up on the computer, but tomorrow I may post a couple pics of the bass I caught, there nothing insane most fish were pretty small but fun to catch nonetheless. Now time to relax watch the tube and get back at it tomorrow to try and get these monsters to shore!
