I went out fishing a private farm pond today and had a great time. I caught 22 lmbs the biggest was 4lbs 8ozs and he was caught on a Cavitron buzzbait (ghost minnow, bleeding bait series). I also caught a 3lb 8oz on a Manns -1 and a 3lb 7oz on a Rage Tail lobster. Unfortunately I lost the biggest bass of the day, he was an easy 8lbs and I had him hooked on a Stanley spinnerbait (blue and translucent white/with blue specs). I was not prepared for the hit because I was talking to my buddy as a result the bass almost ripped the rod out of my hands. I now have a swollen wrist from fighting this bass I did not land.

Here is another one.

Here is yet another one.

Pretty darn nice farm pond !!!

BTW almost forgot, darn nice fish too ;D...

Here is another one that was caught on the Cavitron buzzbait.

Nice fish ron, good job.

Great looking farm pond also

That is awesome rondef. Glad to hear that things went well for you. Nice fish!   Sorry to hear about your wrist and the big one that got away but I am sure you will be able to get him again.

I don't know if I will be lucky enough to get access to this pond again. The people that own it don't even let their family (kids and grandchildren) fish it more than a couple of times a year, I don't understand that logic. I guess they don't understand that family is the most important thing in life, I feel bad for them.

I put an ace bandage on the wrist last night and took it off this morning. It feels fine now and I will be back out fishing Monday or Tuesday.

great job man.  sounds like a real good day.  shame about that big one though.  hopefully you'll get another crack at her.

WOW good looking fish.

Sorry to hear about the big one that got away. Good thing is you kept the rod for the next outing.

memo

Thanks all for the comments. It was a real fun day of fishing, one of my better outings. I plan on buying the owner of the property a gift certificate for a dinner as a thank you for them since they let me fish their pond. Maybe I will be lucky enough to be invited back.

pond fishing is alot of fun.

Much more relaxed, and the fishing can often be very productive.

Nice trip rondef. I'm sure you'll get an open pass to fish there especially if you buy them dinner.

Nice hawg hunting trip there Ron. Get your wrist back in shape and go out and nail that hawg.

 Nice cathcin there Ron!  Gotta love lil honey holes like that, hopefully you'll be able to get back in there.

Nice fish Ron.

Good fish, looks like fun. I need to find me some private farm ponds. The golf courses out here don't seem to understand my needs.
