Got a call from a bud who claims to have that awesome pond we all here about. Private pond, nothing but the backyard to a few mansions. My buddy claimed soft plastics kill here, was a little to lazy to take off my favorite DPR lure so what happens first cast, BANG! largie, third cast BOOM! largie, 4th cast POP! just a little gill. I honestly was bored after 20 minutes of catching 3lb large mouth after large mouth. I was hoping for something in 5lb range, so I stayed a little longer. Biggest girl of the day was probably only 3.5 or 4lbs. Over a dozen fish were caught on a x-rap including two fiesty gills, the soft plastics went 1 for 3. I don't get the sport or the thrill in catching fish in a barrel. I'll stick to my smell DPR.

I agree. I don't like fishing in a place that has 'no pressure' what so ever. it's almost like cheating.
