THE WIFE AND I CAUGHT ABOUT FIVE LARGEMOUTH ALL BETWEEN 6 INCHES AND 2.5 POUNDS. I USED THE SAME PATTERN AS LAST YEAR AND THE BASS ARE REALLY AGGRESSIVE AND READY TO FEED DURING THE HOT MID-AFTERNOON HOURS. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS FUNNY, BUT THEY STACK IN THE SHALLOWS AND AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE ALL FORMS OF LIFE IN THE SHADES. THROW 'EM BACK, AND CATCH'EM AGAIN! SEE YA ON THE POND, TOO BAD IT IS FOR DOD ONLY.
