I have been fishing the heck out of a small family pond this year with the knowledge that lunkers are present. I posted some nice catches by my 9 year old, well I may have topped him.

We went out last night and it was another slow, late summer night as far as bass are concerned. I caught a pounder immediately on a chartruese Terminator spinner, then a few hours passed and nothing. I tried worms, frogs, craws, Rapalas, etc couldnt get a hit. Went back to the Terminator, ran it parallel to the dam, slowed it down a bit, then boom!

5 pounds+ 21"

It was about time, I was wondering if I was going to see anything with any decent size this year.

Nice bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fine fish, nice pic, too!

This pond has been a real enigma. It is known to have some lunkers, but the bite is real spotty. In my experience small ponds can be more susceptible to hot and cold action. I finally pulled a nice one out,  and I'm pretty sure there are larger ones than that to be had.

very cool.  glad you got your lunker.  hope you get plenty more before the year is up.

Nice hawg you got there.  

That is a nice one allright.  Nice job.
