I've been busy latey and haven't had a chance to put a line in the water. But today my outings led me pass the pond. So I threw a rod in the car and head out.

The shad swimbaits got me nothing, but I saw a swirl in the water so I tied on a senko and tossed it out there. Bam! right off a hit. Not a big fish but this little guy put up the fight of his life. This little fish fought harder lb for lb than any bass I have ever caught. He went left and right, darting back and forth. He jumped twice with his head almost a foot out of the water.

He was only about 8"-10" long and under a pound, but he had the soul of a 10lber. ;D

Its nice when your're only catching dinks and they fight so hard.

The little guys don't get their pictures put up very often, But they do make for a good time.

To the fiesty little fish!

Sounds like a good time to me. Nice job telling the story too.  8-)

I am at the point where I generally want to go after fish that are larger, but some days...especially in the slow winter months...catching a bunch of smaller fish that fight like their lives are on the line are fun to catch.

Nice to hear that SOMEONE can still catch fish this time of year.
