I fish a private 2-3 acre pond behind my house. That pond is loaded with fish! It is rarely fished, but my neighbor and i both caught 6 pounders out of it, and some reports of bigger ones. In fact, a bass broke somebody's rod! Thats crazy since these are northern fish! I might be able to get a pic of my 6 pounder up later.

I caught a 7lber and threw him back.  its important to throw big fish back.  keep a small one before you keep a big one.  they are the more healthier fish and give off better spawn.

I guess I need to clarify. The two younger guys did not keep the fish, they were put back.

I caught a 9lber out of the 2 acre pond that used to be in my backyard.(Sadly,the lake dried up)

I ate him because when i caught him i knew it was inevitable that the lake was gonna dry up.(Had a bad drought in 97-'99)

lots of ryan's in this forum.  senko77, and jaxbasser, and me as well.

anyhow, how did that big gal taste at that size?  muddy or clean?

caught a 7.5# gal when she was feeding up in pre spawn on an inline spinner.  was on my buddie's 8 acre neighborhood lake, where we also pulled out twin 5# hawgs about 5 min apart

I fish a private pond that could fit between the 50 yard line and the end zone of a football field.  This pond was stock about 3 and half years ago with LM, it had a large population of bluegill/bream that had no size to them, now the bluegill /bream are large to say the least.  This summer I have landed a 7+ pounder off live bait and a 5+ pounder off a Berkely 6" Cherry seed colored lizard.  Both within 5' of the shore line out of a downed tree.  In the 2-3lb range maybe 5 - 10 bass, not sure on the 2lb and under, but its been alot.  This is one pond that I love to fish and plan to insure the bass stay large and well fed.

In a pound was about 3lb Largemouth bass but in reserviors lots of 5+lb Largemouth bass. Got to love those old reserviors,rivers,lakes and ponds.

Last summer I caught a 19 inch bass in a 1-1/2 acre pond. I was fishing from shore with light line, and had to walk in the water to land it! It had wrapped up in bullrushes. This pond is sadly shrinking, due to the watersource being changed.  

Ponds:

Northern spinnerbait 9 1/2 lbs (released) Southern Bass Assassin 12 lbs (released)

I've caught 4 all around the 5 1/2 lb. mark in my little pond. Caught 2 on a frog, 1 on a jig, and 1 on a 7.5 in. worm.

My wife and I fish a 3-4 acre pond behind my parent's house quite often and we've pulled some decent sized bass, considering the pond's only about 3 years old.  At first, we didn't have a tape or scale...which of course is when some of the biggest ones were caught.  But since we've started measuring, the largest to date was about 4 lbs and 21.5 inches.

My dad has caught some big ones too, in the 6 lb range.  Next year there should be some really nice bass fishing at this little water hole!  

My biggest pond bass was a 5.5 pounder I caught earlier this year. Caught her in the post spawn on a picasso spinnerbait. Sure wish I could have landed her during the prespawn!

i caught a 7.2 lb bass in my pond.

Nice fish!

8.5 lb on a fluke, 9.2 lb on a frog, and 12.44 on a Stick-o worm all out of a 1.2 acre cow pasture pond. All released .

5 pounder in a 1 acre or so pond. I cheated and caught her on her bed using a flippin jig. Lost thge photo of her a while ago.

3.74lb on a live target swim bait. I have also caught several 3 pounders with a b&b jig and blue laminate rage craw. I don’t have a boat so for me pond fishing is my favorite thing to do.

Caught this one a few years ago on a pond at the family farm. My uncle has been managing it for over 30 years. I’m extremely lucky that I have a place like this to fish.
