SuperMn106 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 My brother and his family came up from Indiana for the 4th and while they are here, we did some fishing in our parents pond. I would hook the fish and let the kids reel the fish in, I ended up catching only 3 fish (we have barely stocked our pond). The first one was a 10 1/2 inch bluegill when i was fishing alone. I hooked into a nice largemouth and let the 2 girls reel it in a little bit. They both reeled for about 1 minute untill he jumped about 3 ft out of the water and spit the hook. I told the little boy I would try and hook into a fish for him to reel in. I was casting my 7" rubber gulp worm and I had something hit it. I set the hook and yelled for the boy to come over. I seen it come to the top and it looked to be a decent sized smallmouth, so i thought it would be a good fight for him. It proved to be a GREAT fight for him and the girls jumped in to help him. We finally get it in and everyone was excited. Here is Me with the kids and fish. To my best of ability without measuring it, i figured it to be right at 20" Here is another pic to help show the size, It was one of the fattest fish I have ever seen, What a great Night!!
