Visited River Geezers pond  Friday afternoon.  Full pond from the rain and warm temps had things about perfect for winter gill and bash fishing.   Things started a bit slow, but this guy couldn't resist the streamer when it came swimming by

Nothing to big, but they were moving all along the bank looking for minnows which made for some fun action.

Last fish of the day was possibly the largest bluegill I have ever caught.   I was slowing stripping in a small streamer with dumbbell eyes off the bottom.   Gotta love a gill that will pull line off your reel.

Good fishing Jeff.
That ass in the 3rd picture could easily pass for a Kentucky Spotted bass instead of a largemouth. Did Robert say anything about having Spots in there ??

No spots that he is aware of.   The bass all came from local ponds and hatcheries, but who know what kind of interbreeding has been going on.  I need to weigh one of those biguns some time.  That last one was thick.

DAYUM! Those puppies had to pull your string good!

How is El Geezero doing these days? Haven't heard if he ever found that Ivory Bill.
