Unnamed / Liberty Hill Rd Pond

Amazingly, after throwing back a 2-pound-7-ounce LMB, I caught this 2-pound-7-ounce LMB a few minutes later. I thought I might have caught the same fish twice, but a closer examination revealed they were not the same. (Caught from the bank of a private Tennessee pond.)

Beautiful fish, beautiful sunset. Caught this 2 lb 7 oz LMB from the shore of a private Tennessee pond. #CatchKing

It was a hot and humid 4th of July evening, but worth the sweat to catch this fella (LMB) from the shore of a private Tennessee pond. #CatchKing

First time trying the ol’ fishing-pole-in-the-mouth pose after catching this LMB from the shore of a private Tennessee pond. #CastKing

Is this a spotted or large mouth? One fish app says spotty, this one says largie. I had to put on the glove about halfway through catching a dozen bass after I started getting “bass thumb.” Caught this 1-pound-4-ounce predator from the shore of a private Tennessee pond. #CatchKing

Not too shabby. Caught this LMB from the shore of a private Tennessee pond using 4-inch Yum Dinger on a wacky rig. #CatchKing

When one LMB is so small it fits comfortably in the mouth of another LMB. #CatchKing

Caught this one-pound-five-ounce LMB from the shore of a private Tennessee pond using a wacky-rigged 4-inch Yum Dinger. #CatchKing
