Back to our little getaway in WV at 3700'.
There are 3 ponds up there, but two are not worth fishing.
The sunfish were bigger this year.
Who knows why?
Always eager.

I lost a 18"+ bass and had an interesting encounter with a 16-18"er.
I heard a bass bass busting in the reeds to my right.
I chucked three casts down in his direction. Nada.
On the fourth cast a smallish sunnie took the bug.
As he swirled around, the bass came out and slammed him.
Somehow the hook got transferred to the bass and I drug him to the bank.
When I reached down for him, the tippet popped.
He slid back into the pond.
The stunned bluegill had been porpoising around and the bass went after him and ate him.
Bad mofo.

Caught about 45 over the course of three different one hour trips over three days. 

My usual suspect orchid was in bloom.

I use fish that size for flathead bait.
