Today was a double run :-) I was on my way to lunch but I looked up and took a deep breath and said, hookup!!! I had my stuff in the back of the truck for after work but I jammed over there to the ponds at around 11:30 and fished until 1. I started out with a brush hog for about 10 minutes and was trying to look for sight fish. Didn't see much so I threw out my other rod with a blade. I I was fishing from shore btw ... anyway first cast this 3lb smallie comes up and just gives it a love tap and swims off. I was like heeeeeyyyy come back. Boy a couple casts later things started happening with that blade though and in the next 30 minutes I caught 5 and missed one other one ( which I am 90% sure I caught on the next cast anyway ). They were all largemouth. The smallest was probably 2 and a half and the best two were 3-11 and 3-15. I had 16 or 17lbs for 5 on my lunch break, that was killer! I did see a fair amount of fish but couldn't catch any of the ones I saw.

After work I raced back over there and started throwing my blade like a mad man. I didn't get there until 5:15 though and it just didn't feel right with the blade after about 20 minutes. So I jumped out and went to the other pond and said hey to Dave who had been there for a bit with no lovin yet. My second cast with a watermelon brushog resulted in hookup. A nice fish, I didn't weigh it, it was probably 3 and 3/4 or so. It was getting late but we kept at it for another 20 minutes or so and I wound up getting one more 2 n 3/4 type fish on the b-hog and Dave pulled a nice one probably a little over 3 on a spider jig. HUGE full moon came up over the hill on the way home. It was pretty cool.

Here are some pics, I didn't get one of the 3-11. I just weighed the fish and though ok, that's good and let it go. As it was swimming away I'm like hey wait a minute ... doh, but that's ok. I didn't take any pics of the evening fish I caught either because it was late and I wanted to fish and not take pictures.

3-15 on the blade. I haven't caught spinner fish in a long time so this was pretty fun :o

Dave with a nice one - the flash makes it look a lot darker than it was.
