i went fishing at bowies pond which belongs to fort ap hill. same pond where i caught the bowfin. its filled with lilies and grass. few covers like fallen trees, logs, a dock. i just got me a baitcaster i bought the pro qualifier combo with 7.1:1 ratio reel and 6'6 mh rod. i went with 30 lb braided line. but anyways. i went back last night and had some good hits on the rage tails frog but couldnt bring none in. sadly last night was a skunk for me. they would wrap themselves in the pads and free themselves off the hook. this morning i went with my brother to same pond and we didnt do to bad just nothing big everything range right at 1.5 lbs. but we did manage to catch 4 bass and 1 juvenile pickerel. my brother caught his bass and pickerel off the culprit fire tails while i caught two off the rage tail frog and 1 with the spro bronzeye frog. i tried some worms and cranks but no luck. i destroyed more rage tails than getting hits but it was worth it but now i have to buy some more. frogs. i posted pics and dont laugh at the glove it gives me confidence lol. my only true downfall was losing most of my frogs and my trolling motor just doesnt have the power. i could row faster with one paddle. also man the bees refused to leave me alone never once bothered my brother.

on a side note if these are the small guys ill take em but if they're bigger one out there im coming for you. from the hit i had the other night he felt much bigger than the guys i was catching at least i want to say 3 lbs or so buy the action it did give me. sadly got away but it might been another bowfin too or something else.
