Thread: no giants this trip

I took my mom fishing Friday. The pond we fished is one I manage; it produced two bluegill over two pounds last year, one of which was a coppernose caught by a client. (I wasn’t there when the other one was caught and don’t know whether it was a coppernose or a northern, but suspect strongly it was the former based on the landowner’s description.)


The big coppers weren’t playing today, although I did have one fish that acted like a bluegill take a big run of drag and then pull off. We weighed seven bluegill that were over a pound apiece, and another one weighed .95 lb.; we had one other fish that didn’t get weighed but would have gone over a pound. All of the ones that we weighed were northern.
