I fished a private pond this weekend that I fish about 4 times a year with my Mom. It's a place I can take her to catch fish without her having to work too hard.

Usually we just dropshot small worms. That's easy for her. The average fish is between 1 and 2.5 lbs with the occasional 3 or 4 pounder. This weekend I threw some trout plugs and bigger baits, because I can. }( None of the plugs produced, but the 'Rodent' by Bettencourt Baits did! Nothing huge, but my best 5 on the rodent went almost 16 lbs. All these fish were really long, but skinny. There was literally hundreds, if not thousands of baby bass in the water.

There is no structure to fish and lots of moss on the bottom, so whenever I saw the bass chasing the fry, I would just pull the Rodent through real slow on top. It's an awesome bait for realism!
