Local pond 6/6
Message:
I decided to head out to a local pond that I discovered had some nice fish in it. Since this is my first season fishing for bass and I fish from shore it seemed like a good place to start because it's small. I started fishing about 7:00am and left around 10:00am. On my first cast I threw a Rebel popper (ole bass) and hooked up with a small bass (10") and managed to land the first LMB I ever caught.

I may have to retire this lure and have it framed :wink: I hooked up with another bass a few minutes later but he threw the hook before I could get him on shore. I decided to try throwing a wacky rigged pumpkin senko and was glad I did because I hooked up with this nice 16" 2lb+/- LMB [img:5a08a57445]http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/4914/dscf0024ah.jpg[/img:5a08a57445] I checked out a couple of other spots on the pond and caught this 14"+ LMB and tried to get myself in one of the pics (as you can see I need more practice at that or a fishing partner). This one was on the same pumpkin senko.

Again on the pumpkin senko. [img:5a08a57445]http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2559/dscf0030s.jpg[/img:5a08a57445] All in all it was a great day. I wasn't expecting to catch this many fish in that little pond.

Nice fish. Largemouth bass are fun to catch. Wacky Senkos work great on still water. No dramatic hooksets, but fewer missed fish.

Looks like a pretty awesome outing for you first time LMB fishing, small ponds are always a good place to start.
