Thanks for the great comments. The big ones from the pond came on a jig with a grub trailer. I have actually caught that 6 pounder three times and it actually weighs 6-12. I have a hard time justifying spending the $$ on gas to go fish the river when I can drop the lil jon boat in the pond right behind the house and have the chance of catching a 6 pounder. Tomorrow is another Nick and Jeff challenge on the pond. He talks smack but the ole man still schools him when it comes to fishing..
