Hit my boss's small pond this afternoon and when I caught the first Bass, I discovered I'd left my tackle box with my scale and tape in our other car.

All they wanted today was my KVD Spinnerbait made by Strike King and the were hitting it all over the pond. Had wind ruffling the water's surface with blue-bird skies and temps in the low 80s. Caught 15 or 16(mostly dinks) in total but just took pics of four of them.

The first two pics are of the same Bass. Hope y'all enjoy seeing them:

dont look like dinks to me

No pics of the dinks .  Those are the 3-4(?) lbers.

Nice bass ya got there.

I'm just guessing mind you, but I estimate that the stringer would weigh 20.897 lbs.

Nice fish!!  I'm think'n I may have to find some ponds to play in when Ky Lake is upside down.  Oh yeah, my Dad has a very small one.  Haven't fished it is a few yrs.  Last time, I caught a 5lb'r 1st and only cast.  I was just trying to prove to Dad that it Did have fish.  Oh, stupid me!!!!

Nice fish and pics Dan!

I don't know what I'm more impressed with, your fish or your gear!  

Thanks again Robert.  That's a MB F5 1/2 68XFti Diablo rod and a Daiwa Ito reel.

I was thinking the same thing.  

Dan,

Always enjoy see your posts and pics. You certainly have nice equipment and always seem to have a hawg (or two or three) on the hook!  

the first one looks about 5 1/2....that exact spinnerbait was catching them like crazy here...beautiful fish

I couldn't begin to tell you the weight of the fish, but I would say it would be a safe guess to say that sweet rod/reel combo weighs less than 2oz  

you've got some awesome combos dan!

and while we are all flattering lightninrod id like to add that once again your pictures are great.  you post the consistently best bass photos that ive seen at any of the forums ive been too.  i would never go fishing with dan because then i couldnt say "no thats not what i look like im much skinnier in real life" because everyone knows he takes such good pictures.

keep up the good work,

matt

Y'all are going to make me blush!
