Beautiful Fish!!! Lets see another one!!!

I really like to pond fish when I get a chance. Friend of mine opened up a golf course and I would always fish it when the course wasn't crowded. The only thing I used at that time was a buzzbait in the early morning. It was like I couldn't do any wrong. Probably caught 30 before noon, from half pounders to five pounders. Ahh....Those were the days.

Fishing one day in late summer with a crankbait, I hooked what I thought was the biggest bass in my life, turned out to be a 28 inch channel cat. I was disapointed and happy at the same time.

It has taken a while for the lake (North Bend) to get settled in, sometimes after a hard rain the the shallows get real muddy. I had a great year there last season. Caught a few over the four pound mark, just looking forward to this year. Every year it seems it's getting better!!

I chose the second option, since I am a jig pitching nut. Although nothing gets my heart pounding faster than a hog in shallow water getting ready to explode on a topwater plug!!!

My name is Blaine; I'm 35 years old, live in north central West Virginia and have been lurking on this site for some time (6 months). Just wanted to finally come on and be a part of this great forum and all that it has to offer. I feel like I already know everbody. I've been given some helpful information on lures and tactics by everyone on here. Hope to someday be of help to some of you. The lakes I fish most are Stonewall Jackson Lake, North Bend Lake and Greenbrier River. Anyway, sorry for writing the book but thanks again for all of your help. Blaine ;D
