air temp 38 water temp about the same partly sunny and windy went to a lil private pond try out a new combo i got yesterday and caught a small one on a slow rolled spinnerbait boy it felt good to catch a fish half the pond was frozen over froze my butt off but im happy

That's great congrats. This time of year even a small one can boost your confidence.

Congrats!! Way to catch them in the winter!

A small fish in the winter is a large fish in the summer

Any fish when the water drops below 45 is great in my book.  Nice job and i hope to replicate your success tomorrow as i am planning on heading out myself.
