Went back out to the ponds I've been hitting since ice out this year...caught about 15 trout again. My persistence paid off finally...got myself a nice 3.16lb largemouth. May not be anything to write home about but that first good one of the year always feels great!

Nothing wrong with a 3 lb fish. 

Congrats.  Looks like it is time to get my son out for a little fishing around Ames.

absolutely...got some decent weather coming soon

Nice catching!

3 lbs is (to me) the start of a good fish. And they often fight above their weight. I’m always happy catching 3 lb’ers! 

3lbs is a good fish in any of the lakes I fish and deserves a congrats.
