pond fishing 40, 6-8lbers possible? - 08/19/19 01:47 PM
so my tournament partner and I got invited to fish a private 16 acre pond that we were told had "tons of double digit bass in it". We fished a couple hours Thursday afternoon and we caught ~50 bass biggest being 5.1. We then fished Friday sun up till 12 and caught over 100 fish including a 23" fish that only weighed 3.5 pounds (look like a triangle). We caught several that were 20"+ but only weighed 3-4 pounds (these fish looked malnourished). We were a little disappointed we didn't even break the 6lb mark. We tried several different techniques depths ect.
The problem.
the next day i get a call from our host saying a kid caught a 9.5 pounder from the bank, and that 4 guys caught 40 fish that weighted 6-8 pounds in 2.5 hours all fishing from the bank.
My question is, is this possible? My fishing partner is a wildlife biologist, and said based on the condition of the fish we caught its not possible.
