I hadn't fished my childhood neighborhood pond in nearly 20 years. Last year I had been regularly staying back at home to help care for my dad before he passed in November. I got a new rod and gear and had been going a few nights a week. Just picked it back up again for the year and this happened!
By far my PB. Snapped my line right when I got her to shallow water at the spillway. Naturally I had to tackle her like my life depended in it. Im still finding battle wounds this morning 🤣.
Im not religious by anymeans, but the second to last picture was taken by my best friend on his way home from my dads funeral. The last one I took last night just before pulling into my parents neighborhood with said pond. I like to think pops helped me pull her in.

Shooooooooooot.
Good work. I would’ve woken up the neighborhood with the celebration.
I’ve spent so much on different colors, all the “matching the hatch”, and every other green pumpkin combo, but nothing hits quite like the classic black with blue flake.
Harvested a 9.5 lb. I’ve heard the bigger LMB don’t taste as good, what did you think?
