So there she is, my new PB since starting up fishing last weekend.

Hoping to make it again this weekend. Thanks for all the great info on the site here, now I just need to turn some of this knowledge into hands on experience and see if i can't push that PB up in size a little...

Its a start!

We all gotta start somewhere  

Way to go man. It may not be huge but at least you are catching them.

hahaha. Awesome.

I takes great talent to feel that bite, way to go! ;D

Put it on a big hook and throw it back!  

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

I hooked a pike in the same ponds but after a few seconds of fighting all i got back was the shredded line...

Anyone got any suggestions for fishing the Rochester area? At this point i have no access to a boat, but i've got a good selection of equipment to work with. Mendon ponds and surrounding area are really convienient for me to work with after work.  Is this just too shallow to work from the shores?

Your PB will go up quickly.  Glad to see you're catching 'em.  

A bass is a bass........................................well done!!!

He's a cute little guy....or girl, whatever... ;D
