Thank you. Conservative is about 18" on the biggest one so the estimates sound right.

I was at a friend's house and was the only one awake around 7 am. I saw the fish feeding, grabbed a rod and caught about 20 in a short time frame. I didn't have time for bug spray so I went in pajamas.

Some folks just don't understand. When the fish are biting... you go with what you have even if it is pajamas and no socks.

I caught 8-9 on the first 10 casts. It slowed then stopped by 8. The next morning, same location, same time, same rod and lure, nothing. And same pj's. Gave up after an hour. The next day was better but not like the first day.

Bet it was fun even if they were smaller than what you estimated

It's been a while since I Bass fished, but while that fish has length, it doesn't have much of a belly.

I'd say a good 3 - 3.5 pounds.

It's a great bass, especially when a good size Bass is chasing bait right in front of you on a small pond.

A little stealth when walking up to and fishing a small body of water can yield good results if they are in there.

A bass that long is fun on small water, especially in top-water conditions.
