So I decided to fish this pond that I never fish and only sorta have permission to. On like my 4th or 5th cast about 5' from the shore a big girl grabbed my bait. I ended up being 7.1# and being the biggest bass I have ever caught on a crank bait. I have been throwing tons of cranks this year really trying to improve with them and hopefully catch a big one. Kinda sucks it grabbed it so close so it wasn't much of a fight but I caught on my current favorite bait a KVD 2.5. I didn't have my phone with me so I have no picture of it .

Congratz!

Only sorta have permission? Is that like being almost pregnant?

Well the guy almost killed me once shooting at geese on his pond and the bullet ricochet off the pond and went right past my head so close that i could hear the bullet whizzing by. So Its kinda like a unwritten thing where he wouldn't say any thing about me fishing since he kinda owes me.

Awesome man congrats on nailing that beast! 7#
