This was before I learned to let the fish hang when taking pictures :-[. I caught it in Byrd Park (man-made concrete pond in Richmond, VA) on a black and gold jointed rapala. It weighed around 6 lbs.

Nice bass! That is a crazy football looking sucker. Is there anything you don't fish for? :

Chubby thing ain't it?  I still have yet to catch a pike or musky.  Someday....

Wow, what a fatty! Nice Bass.

Nice chunky hawg!

WOW!

That's a beauty.

Nice fish, I didnt know they could live in the water of Richmond.  

You got a whopper there. congrats.

Thats one nice hawg you got there.  

That IS a nice one..  man..  if i have to catch these bass with a net, i will!  hahahaha.. lets hope the weather holds up for sunday man..

Nice looking fish!!!!

Yep, that beats mine.  Nice fish, man.

wow, awesome...i didn't know there were bass at byrd park...which did you get him at? the one with the island?

This was from the one with the fountain in it.  The fishing there has gotten really slow there though.  I fished in the one with the island and the smaller one and had a couple too.  

That thing has got a big gut     Nice catch!

Wow, Very nice fish!!

Super catch.

And now you let that one out of the bag.

I can see Simon and Link and others heading over to the concete pond and catching those monsters.

Actually, the fishing is slow and I am glad you caught that lady to show us what is in the pond.

Great catch and super photos.  Just right for Christmas cards this year.  ;D

nice catch.  i like the dollar bill to put it into perspective.  that fish is money.
