ponds

[fish_a_holic]

I'd try any bait that resembles a bluegill...I fish a lot of ponds, and to date the largest bass I've taken from a pond was an accidental catch to say the least, but is the ammunition for my response - I was using a finesse trick worm 3" long when a hybrid gill slammed the worm so hard it went in its mouth and out its gill...I could see the worm hanging on the outside of the fish...anyway, a couple cranks of the reel and the water explodes! I hit the free spool button on my reel and when the line comes to a halt, I engage the reel and set the hook hard...that afternoon, on a single cast, I landed a 10" bluegill and an 8.5 pound largemouth on a single cast.

Big bass in ponds eat gills...
