caught on powerbait, size 14 treble, four pound leader, five foot pole rigged with an egg sinker off the bottom by about three feet. In a pond that probably doesn't measure 3 acres in size. never would have believed that fish this big lived in there, especially since it hasn't been stocked this year. Shallow, small, you can hear I-84 through the trees on one side, the wind blowing up the Columbia gorge on the other. Had all three kids along, plus the dog, tossing rocks, sticks, yelling, running around. I was tossing lures about fifty yards away from the kids when this fish jumped out of the water...I just figured "how about that..fishing in the wrong spot again." I looked back to see my wife and son working to real that same fish in...really neat stuff. Good job to them both.
This pic is just comparing the size of the fish to the height of my daughter. measures to be about 29 in length.
