Couldn't get a nibble three weeks ago. Not enough room in the boat yesterday.

I posted for the first time three weeks or so ago whining about not being able to sniff a bite in a pond I know has plenty of LMB's


Well, all that has changed. At the 9-acre pond I fish in Yazoo County, somebody flipped a switch and they are fighting to get jerked out of the water.


My theory (I always have a theory) is that there is a lag between weather change and the bass getting hangry.

Anyway, we pulled in 25 lbs of fish in a few hours yesterday and will be going back for more Friday. This pond is home to ten- and twelve-pounders... if I ever get one in the boat, I will retire happily from this sport.

Ain't nothing like being on a pond like that. Yes, it makes it easy sometimes, but damn it when I go fishing I want to catch fish! Those days of fighting like hell to catch nothing suck.

We have a family owned pond about that size in Gilmer County, Ga that we keep stocked with rainbows and smb's. Some of my favorite days have been spent on that pond throwing out a line with corn on the hook and landing 19"-22" rainbows as fast as I can bait the hook. Good fishing, cold beer, and lying about women. Fun times.
