Went out to "Pond X" with a buddy again on a cold March day(3/30/11 last Wednesday), started off with my buddy catching a dink on a suspending jerk bait. Though oh no, they are gonna be hard to catch today. With the temps in the low 40's and rain for the past couple days, we didn't expect much but to have fun! Typically catch them on spinner-baits and plastics, I threw a white 1/2 oz spinner-bait for a while and missed one! He switched quickly to a soft plastic and caught another small one. Went about an hour or so and nothing, so I decided to tie on a Reaction Innovations sweet beaver green pumpkin/red flake and within 20 min BAM, I hook and land my new PB, weighed, took pictures and released to be caught another day! She weighed 8lb 9 oz. ( checked twice ). Didn't catch another fish all day, but we didn't care! Now for the pics.....
