Big Bass in Overlooked Neighborhood Pond
I’ve been sitting on a few posts regarding the weekend, updating some new features for OutdoorsBlogger in the mean time.
Last Friday, before we headed up to Lake Burton, I stopped off at a neighborhood pond I used to fish when I was a kid. No, I’m telling you which one, and here’s why:
I thought I was getting skunked, as I hadn’t gotten a bite in over an hour. Then I hooked up with this guy, I’m guessing he’s in the 6 to 7 pound range (I didn’t have a scale in the box). He did however measure at 19″, and put up a respectable fight even for his size. I got him on a black and red Zoom worm rigged Carolina style with a 3/8 oz. bullet on the front end, running 8 lb. low-vis green spider wire mono.

No man, I know it looks dead in the picture. I released him, and he swam away vigorously. Hopefully we’ll meet again.
