Small pond big bucket

[RyanMac14]

So havent posted in a bit because my wife and I welcomed our second on 7.5.19. Luckily, i have been able to get out a bit early in the morning still (thanks wifey). Have been hitting my local pond that this board has laughed at me for before. Have gone back to a spot i used to frequent that is off the beatem path and infested with huge wasps. But it has paid of recently with numbers and the past 2 days quality. Got out this morning and matched my pb on the nose with this 5 pound 4 ounce gal who put on am aerial show and launched herself higher than ive seen a fish her size ever get. Also got locked in some weeds which led to a rescue mission, luckily was wearing my waders tobprotect from the wasps. Havent mastered the art of getting a good pic with a timer so my selfies will have to do even though they never do the fish justice. Also caught my pb slime dart a couple days ago. The rest have been solid fish small but very fiesty. Thanks for the read and tight lines.
