Got out with Samurai for a short trip yesterday. Pond smallies, you ask? Pond smallies, I respond. Samurai got the best one but she flopped from his grip before her photo op. I'd guess her in the 16-17" range. I got the male that was sitting with her. I picked up another dink on the way to the truck.

These are rogue stocked from the Fox, I'd guess. Even the dink I picked up at the last second was probably a placed fish. I don't think they can spawn in a pond such as this. But who knows. They'll certainly try. Such is the nature of fish and men.

Apologies for the pic. Taken with Samurai's phone and then Instagrammed on my crap phone.

Very interesting. Gonna have to find out which private waters this is.

Although brief, that was a good time. I'm still somewhat shocked that the Smallies are thriving in that shallow barren puddle. Good for them...and us.

It's gonna cost you a beer or two. :wink:

I kind of have a similar "stocked-super-secret-smallie-pond". It's awesome; nice catches!

I've heard of the occasional personal stockings of smallies to local ponds and although the fish don't spawn successfully, the next 5-6 years would show they were able to survive. Always a treat I'm sure to pull a smallie when you aren't expecting it. Nice beard btw.....
