Went to Gillis’ Pond around 11am and fished til about 2pm and caught over 12 bass. Two where over 3lbs (pic below) and the others all over 1 but mostly 2 to 3lbs.

I had a LUNKER get away. I quite possibly could have been the largest bass I have ever hooked but after a 10 minute fight I had it about 4 feet from the bank and it surfaced with the mightiest jump I’ve ever seen and spit the lure out in my face! Just to guestimate I would say over 10lb possibly up to 12lb…
