for his first fish ever, out of this private pond owned by a friend of my dad's, up in Angel's Camp. It's an awesome pond, prob'ly 5-6 acres in surface area, just a mile or so away from the Hwy4/Hwy49 intersection. My dad & I caught a couple over 3 lbs. there last time out, just casting from shore. The owner swears there are numerous fish over 8 lbs. out there -- wants us to take away as many sub-3 lb'ers as we can catch so there's not so much competition for food for the BIG DAWGS! Hmmm... can't wait! (Sorry, guys, it's only accessible via this guy's front yard -- gotta do some SHMOOZIN', y'know?). :-)
