After a fun afternoon of cleaning and organizing my garage I headed out back to relax a bit. Theresa joined me for a few minutes, but after only a few bites and one bullhead on the slip bobber and fatheads she headed in. I decided to stick it out for awhile. I was throwing a 5'' smoke purple flake twin tail grub on a black bullet jighead. I was keeping to one area to keep an eye on my bobber. Just relaxing fishing with minimal expectations I guess. I had been out to the pond 3 or 4 times since moving in and all I had caught was crappies and gills. Something inhaled the bait on the twitch and instantly started peeling the line. I played it for a few seconds and when she came up and bulldawged on the surface I loosened the drag a little more and called Theresa. She brought out a tape measure and the digital scale. She came in at a little over 20 1/4'' and the scale kept bouncing b/w 4.5-4.7 lbs. After a few quick pics, measurement and weight she was released and swam off strong.
