I had the best day of fishing I have had since last year.

 

Went out for around 2 hours, caught around 40-ish bluegills, 10 pumpkin seed, 13 black crappies, an 24" pickerel, and two bass, one 8" the other at least a pound. (catch & release)

Not a good day of fishing for most people, but a great day for me since the fishing here has been really tough. Caught all the sunfish with a 1/32oz trout magnet. The pumpkin seed were all at least 10", caught the pickerel on a small 1/8oz jig head with a 2" BPS speed shad. I caught them all at a new pond which is now my favorite, Mill Pond in Nashua, NH.

Excellent.  Those are giant fish on a giant bait.?

Never heard that before

Sunfish species - found north of the Mason-Dixon mainly...rarely south of it

Descendants of transplants. Their original native range was southern Canada to North Carolina, west to Iowa. They've been introduced as far west as Washington and Oregon and some southern states as well as Europe

 

In Europe, they're considered an 'invasive species'...much like Asian Carp here.

I caught a 24-foot pickerel, 8-foot bass, some 10-foot pumpkin seed, while I was using a 2-foot BPS Speedshad. ?

Just messing with you. Glad you had a great fishing trip.

Way to go!  You can have a blast when the panfish are tearing things up.
