    You’re making my mouth water buzzer. Get on that pond in the spring with a fly rod and some poppers and you will wear your arms out.

    Magnum gills for sure.!
    I’d be guarding that pond with wire, claymores,
    and land mines

    Nice job Chad, you definitely have them dialed in this year. Nothing better than a big gill pounding a spoon. Dan

    Thats great. I got access last winter to a pond just a few miles from my house here in iowa that has monster hybrids and big perch. I even caught a channel cat through the ice there last year. I fished it during the open water and the perch and gills are all big and healthy still. I also put in 13 small channel cats and 1 little flathead. It is supposed to have walleyes in it. The guy who owns it, his wife caught one around 22 inches on a crawler on the bottom but I dont know how to locate them or catch them through the ice any ideas?
