Another trip to my favorite VT LMB honey hole resulted in my second biggest fish of the year (4lbs even), my biggest this year also came out of this pond in the springtime. Although I didnt have a scale then, I know that it weighed more because sometimes you just know.

After catching a couple small bass right off the bat, I moved into the mouth of the northwestern cove. There is some deeper water there, so I threw a black senko and let it sit on the bottom for minute. I lifted and let it fall again and thats when my line started shooting out. Feeling confident that this was a fish, I made a strong hook set. I could tell the fish was big right away because as it made its first run it nearly pulled the rod out of my hands! She then dove into the weeds at the bottom and wouldnt move. I made sure to keep tension on the line so she wouldnt pull a fast one on me. Had to keep doing the old reel and lift for a while till I finally got her out of the weeds. She dove under the boat forcing me to put half my rod in the water, then she darted around which made me have to twist my body (I was really wishing I had a spinning seat). I brought the fish to the surface and she made a couple more tired attempts to escape. I lipped her and pulled her into the boat. 4lbs even on my scale. I snapped some quick shots. Although I found it difficult to get all of the fish in the frame I knew I had to get this beauty back in the water and so I did and off she swam.

After that I proceeded to catch a couple pounders and a couple better (a 1.6 and a 1.5) fish on senkos. It was getting dark so I switched to top water, first throwing a frog. I got some great hits on the frog, but wasnt able to get anything in the boat. I switched to a jitter and caught a couple more small fish and called it a night.

Another memorable trip to Baker for sure. This pond is always a ton of fun
