We had an awesome day at the pond today.  Fishing was slow for about the first 20 minutes, then Laine hooked into a nice bass.  He fought it for awhile, but it ended up spitting his jig out on the first big jump.  (kinda sucked for Laine, but it worked out good for me later!  )

We noticed a bunch of fish hitting the surface out in the middle of the pond, so we decide to go out there and throw some topwaters at them.  We ended up catching over 30 each in about 3 hours!  Caught almost all of them on Zara Spooks, and Rebel Pop-R's.  I ended up catching my very first double.  Two fish on the same lure at one time!  

We decided before we left to go back and fish the same spot that Laine hooked the big one earlier in the morning.  Well it only took about two cast before I hooked into a nice 7 pounder.  The old girl put up an awesome fight!  

Thanks for leaving her for me Laine!   ;D

Here's a pic of the 7 pounder.  Kinda strange, she had a nice belly on her, and her tail was messed up like she was on a nest or something.  Surely she still wasn't spawning???

Very Nice, especially the first one, you got skillz my brotheren!

Niiiiice... Maybe we can hit some of those tomorrow Blazy

Cool! Congrats!

That double catch must have been an interesting fight  8-)

That 7 is a nice fish and makes a great pic.   8-)

No, the new reels are safely tucked away in the display cabinet..

I used the old tried and true Mg50 and Curados...

Daiwa's are the coolest reels, but I really like fishing with Shimano's

awesome, sounds like a great pond too.
