Anyday on the water where you catch fish is a good day. I don't care if they are small and insignificant or giants. 8)
That's a good looking bass that you have there.

Got in a Little Pond Fishing Today.
Not all of you may know but in my front yard I have a 5 acre pond that I fish quite often. It makes a great little practice hole and there are some surprisingly big bass in it.
Well today I decided to do a bit of fishing in it. This was the first time this year I was able to launch my boat in it. The weather was amazing! It was so warm I ended up removing my shirt and catchin some rays. The wind was up a little but nothing that bad, it just meant I was on the trolling motor a bit more than Id prefer that's all. Water temps were around 68 degrees and some of the pads had broken the surface but there were still quite alot that hadn't emerged yet.
I didn't stay out long, about an hour or so, and all in all I caught and landed 5 keepers. The first few fish I hooked into were on a soft jerkbait and were all too small. I still get amused when a 5 inch fish nails and gets landed on a 6 inch bait lol Eventually I switched up to a Rapala SR5 in black and silver. Once I started working this around the pond I started to land better fish. Surprisingly I didn't see any fish bedding.

It was no record setting day but it sure was a lot of fun. Even the mini bass were fun to catch.

The biggest of the fish was this 17 incher.
