Nice bass! 😎  A 6# largemouth is a once every third year fish up here, if you’re lucky!  Amazingly, for those who fish Lake Ontario/St. Lawrence River 5-6+lb. smallmouth are far more common than largemouth of that size.

Thank you ! Ive never caught a smallmouth. It’s on my short list for fishing!

A 45 ft deep 3-4 acre pond sounds insane to me. 

Me too. A diver was there one day and told me that. So I don’t know it for sure. But it seems very deep based on the fall of the baits…

Two excellent bass, Mike. Agree with the rest that the big girl is over 6 at that length with those proportions. Last 22.5" I caught went 6lb 11oz and yours is thick for a summer bass.
