Poor Clare Monastery of Our Lady of Mercy Pond

Little bigger fella. Still not massive like I once used to catch here, but it's been a tough year, so I'll take it!

Been so long since I caught a decent bass, I nearly didn't know what it was! 🤣

My 8yo son asked me to take him fishing this morning and absolutely decimated this pond on a pair of Panther Martins! 🥰

All the dad vibes. 🥰

First catch of the morning on an unweighted Crappie Slider!

Would you believe that I caught four bass tonight, and this is the only one I managed to catch a picture of. One of them managed to impale me with my own hook as I was removing it and so I had to throw him back while I dug it out of my own finger. Two others shook so hard that they busted out of my grip and flopped back into the water. Overall, really fun night with some feisty fish!

Caught this fella alllllllllllll the way across the pond from the bank where I was standing and had to coax him in. Three fights for the price of one! 🤣

These guys put up such a lovely fight!
