I am new to the forum and fish a very small local pond with not many big fish. Last year about this time of november i pulled this big guy

(my PB) out of the pond

he weighed 4 lb 11 oz on the digital scale and is so far, my biggest.

Way to go, solid fish!  

thanks, i havn't got much this year. as a matter of fact, i havn't even caught one over four pounds this year   : i've caught a 3-5, 3-2, and 2-13 this year. anything over a pound and a half is good for that pond.

That's a nice one.

Nice bass there bro!

Thanks guys i'm still waitin for one over 5! haha i think this winter is when i'm gonna get her. I got the one in the picture on a jig and plan to fish jigs all throughout winter.

Good plan..Jigs are a big fish bait. Another thing you can do is take a big spinnerbait, 3/4 to 1 oz and fish it basically like a jig on the bottom. Just an extremely slow lift fall technique. I've caught hogs in cold water doing this..the one in my avitar hit a spinnerbait in 25 ft of water . Good luck popping that 5!

That picture says it all.  Nice fish.

Way to go!!

Great fish man

i don't have any spinnerbaits that big, i could get away with a half ounce or 3/8 ounce considering that the pond i fish is only 3 to 4 foot deep.

Oh, yeah that's shallow, you'll be fine with those sizes.

way to go, nice fish
