We have two large stocked ponds, and we are the only ones that get to fish them throughout the year so it's generally like fishing in an aquarium. Makes you feel like a genius when you pull in a fish every other cast.

The highlight was a 19" 4.0lb LMB.



I also caught this smaller guy that had a mean battle damage scar from what I assume is some kind of water bird.

All the bass had very pronounced red upper lips. Not sure if that's from eating something specific like crayfish, or something else pond specific.
