Well today I got my newest and bestest rod and reel ever! A Powel Max 6'8" Med/Hvy and a Revo SC. I fell in love with it at first sight. It fished even better than I dreamed and is light as air. I'm really pleased with it.

Anyway here is the first of many bass that will be caught on this swell setup, not much for size but the first one just the same:

And just to show you the conditions it was 95 degrees and this is what the cove I was fishing looked like:

Thats 6" thick of weedy slop that just about covers the whole pond. I beleive the latin name for this plant form is "Stupidcraplitus".

Got the weekend off, so its early to bed, early to rise. Hopefuly I'll catch the topwater bite tomorrow morning.

nice bass ,nice setup, what lure were you using with all them weeds there

Very nice! I just got a Revo myself... it's a sweet reel.

Good job pulling fish out of that soup!

I love split grip rods! Yours looks great with the grey and green.

Nice looking pond too. Looks like a great place to swim at! ;D

I was using a Spro frog in the slop and a shaky head rig in the clear spots.

Nice fish, How bigs the fish?

Pushing 1 pound... lol. I always take a picture of the first fish on a new combo, regardless the size.
