Well here in orlando today, there were many t-storms and 20-30 mph winds.  Not the ideal conditions to say the least. So between downpours i tossed a few at the pond in my neighborhood. Normally i catch nothing but dinks here (6-8oz at best), but today it changed.  These are the largest fish i ever caught here, and they're still only a couple of lbs at best. Not so bad after all i suppose.

the first one is the pond at my local community, followed by the fruits of the labor.....

PS...can anyone help explain the weird lesions on the gills of the one bass??

    It is always nice to have a pleasent surprise isn't it?  BTW, I can't help you with the lesions I have never seen those before.

Very nice! I was thinking of going out after getting rained out at work but the wind kept me away. CONGRATS BRO!!!
