I went to a church family camp and me and my friend went out in their padlle boat to fish the lily pads. thiswas my first time ever fishing witha weedless frogbut I had good results(at least compared to last year's results here of a 4 in bass as the biggest). They were a 1 1/2lb 1 3/4lb and a 3 1/2 lboh and by the way I live in MN so that is a pretty nice for around here
I've said it once and I'll say it again, I'd rather catch 10 small ones than 1 big one, the size of the fish don't matter, it's all about having fun and it seems like you did so congrats!
