Nice fish there. Going out this weekend to Westmoreland, hopefully the warmer temperature will help.

Where's Westmoreland?

Westmoreland county, bout and hour East of Fredericksburg.

I had an awesome day today. Took off work a little early seeing as it was crazy nice outside, and I hit a nearby pond with my kids. We caught 10+ in a couple hours, including a beautiful 5 pounder. A great time was had by all.

would have been happy with just this and a s-load of fries

but then i pulled in this trophy

biggest fish of my short life!

Nice and congrats typed by ten

thanks!  i was so excited to get it in the net that i shook for probably 5 minutes afterwards.

Finally I got into some fish the last three days. I fished my local reservoir for a few hours each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (today).

All the fish I caught on Friday and Saturday were in the creek channel drop near the back of a cove. No size, biggest was around 2 lbs (which is okay for this lake), but caught a bunch of them. I threw a red eye shad and an LC Gunfish on Friday. All hits on the trap came on the fall (I was yo-yoing it), and the hits on the topwater came on the pause. I missed having a jerkbait with me. The only one I had, a KVD wild shiner, turned out to be a lemon. It sank like a darned stone.

Came back on Saturday with a Pointer and the Gunfish. Cleaned them up on the jerkbait, caught nothing on the topwater.

Today was mighty tough. I found a few fish at the very back of the cove, in real shallow water, but buried inside laydowns. Caught half a dozen on weightless senkos.

Hey Ben nice fish. Now just catch 4 more of those a day and you''l cash some checks.I wish it was that easy. My first tournament I fished last year I caught three 4 pounders in about an hour in the same spot. Couldnt catch any more keepers , several 14 inchers but 15 inches was the minimum for weigh in,  just weighed in my 11.8 pounds and called it a day.

thanks man. show me where to catch 4 more and you can keep the money ;D

i didnt mention the 20 odd dinks i caught... the first picture should tell you a lot about what i consider a "good" fish, haha.  thats about as good as it gets for me.

hell with it, id rather catch dinks than waste sunlight at work 8-)

nice fish ben got a couple spots for you to try you in richmond va where did you catch thos at ?

those were at a private mill pond in new kent, i can barely get in.  pretty soon im gonna have access and a boat on woodhaven, after that i wont mind showing a few people around.

Fished a private pond yesterday and finally caught my first fish. 7 bass + 2 crappie. Bunch of dinks. One maybe close to 1lb.

Caught them all on a white beetle spin. I was really trying to see if I could catch a couple of crappie to eat.

Going back tomorrow with bass on the brain.

great minds think alike i caught 13 crappie yesterday and plan on hittting the basss hard tomm morning  we caght a 2.3 pound crappie thought is was a bass put up a good fight  ;D

I feel ya man. Caught a 1lb+ crappie last year on a jerkbait and thought I was reelin in a big bass. Was disappointed to see what was hooked, but always happy to catch a fish.

On a different note...panfish hit like a whale no matter what size. Thinking about fishing for sunnies more this year.

thanks! i was so excited to get it in the net that i shook for probably 5 minutes afterwards.

did the same thing when i pulled this pig out in Prince William County
