(May be) A new PR from a few days ago

[SMDave]

Hit the local pond from my last two reports for about half an hour this past Tuesday, Dec 15th. Caught one really nice fish around 2.5 lbs., then ended the short outing with landing an absolute toad! May be my new PR, although I can't be sure since I don't weigh my fish. Wasn't the longest fish I've ever landed, but certainly was a fat mama! Notice both fish look like they're about to burst! Especially if you look around the pelvic fins. It is unquestionably my heaviest bass recently however!

Time: ~ 4:15-4:45 PM EST
Conditions: Clear skies
Air Temp: 50℉ w/ some wind
Water Temp: Unknown.
Water Depth: The entire pond is super shallow; these fish were hooked in no more than 3-4' FOW
Lure: Both were caught slow-rolling the Strike King Pro-Model Series 4S (the model with Trokar trebles as stock hooks) sqb crankbait in Yellow Perch.
Rod//Reel: 7' M/XF Field & Stream Tec-Spec Black Casting Rod // BPS Extreme Baitcasting reel (6.2:1)
Line: 12lb. Seaguar Inviz-x Fluorocarbon
Number of fish: 2 x Largemouth Bass

Thanks for taking a look!
