Myself and Mike "USMC_GY" decided to hit the local ponds and the fishing was simply on fire. We caught twelve Rios all over 10 inches. We also caught several nice Bluegill in the 8 inch range and a couple of very nice Bass. The largest being around 6 pounds and 23 inches long. All the Rios were drag pullers and they were super healthy and fat. We finished the pond fishing at around 11am and then hit some local creeks. The creek fishing was also on fire. Several nice bass and Rios were caught. A super day of pond and creek fishing with friends. It just don't get any better!

Side Note: Water was clear. Fish were caught on both live worms, Berkley Trout worms, Gulp Minnows and Gulp alive worms. All fish were released to fight again. The Big Bass was caught on a live Bluegill! Bottom,float, and drop shop methods were used.

Those Bull's are Huge. They don't look so beat up as the ones you have been catching on the Creeks. Are they still on nest? Also you can tell those ponds are in super shape by the way those Rios look. Good job to the both of you.

Those are some pretty lookin rios. I just caught my first bull Rio about like those. Thought I had a bass and it broke my zebco 33 which I had bought for old times sake.

Thanks "Gitter" and "Comeonfish" for the replies. Gitter: I think the Rios are on nest in the ponds. They just don't have as many fish attacking em as they do on lakes and creeks. "Comeonfish". Those Bulls can fight and will give a ultra light a good workout. You should catch a bunch more of em this summer.

Hey Chuck. Out of all the baits you guys used today what was the bait of choice for the Rios.

We caught em on all of the above baits. We caught most of em on the bait of champions "WORMS". Also "Gitter" the ponds are in super shape along with the Creeks. Would love to see some more RAIN! (Banana rain dance. )

Looks like a great day of fishing ! I totally love fighting with rios they are fighters for sure.

Thanks "Tun3R" for the reply. Sent you a PM! You are 100 percent right. Those Rios are some super fighting fish.
