Hey guys!
This past 3 weeks I've had the opportunity to tour the east coast, and of course, I wasn't going to go clear across the country and not fish at least once [] So one of the days I was able to stay with a family friend at his estate in Virginia. He treated me well, letting me use boat on his private pond. This pond is, of course, called Pemberly Pond. It is a warm water pond that holds bass, bluegill and crappie. He even told me that he usually stocks it with trout; lake trout to fish for and golden trout for the osprey and eagles. (Easier for them to spot) I fished in the evening, using mostly worms and the Rebel Crickethopper. Here are just a few of the fish I caught:

These were just a couple. I caught well over 20, including this big old bull bluegill that was still in spawning colors. You should have seen how bright orange he was! I couldnt get a picture because I lost hold of him while I was rinsing him off [:/]

One of the dinky little bass I caught. So none of this is too impressive but this next catch is a personal best for sure!

Not sure if you guys can tell, but the pliers help you see how big this thing actually was. It was like football sized, so cool.
