My nephew and brother in-law went to the pond with me this morning. Surprisingly, the live bluegills were not producing much today. Good thing someone was with ...more me to take a picture of this beast. My new Iowa PB caught on a white Senko. Coming in at 23" and 6 pounds 13 ounces!!! Wonder if this is the same fish I caught 2 Winters ago at 6lb 10oz???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Couple quick pictures and released to fight another day.

My dad caught this exact same cat 4 years ago. Same big bump under the chin. When dad caught it, it was 27" and weighed 8 pounds. Good to know she's growing!

Mason took home the gold medal for the day when he landed this kitty cat. Just under 29". This one had a VERY distinct overbite with a big bump under its chin. ...more And I recognized it from four years ago.

Took my nephew and his son with me to a farm pond this morning. Well, his son, Mason, showed us up today. Didn't get the big bass to bite but he caught a couple ...more of healthy 2 pounders.

Then there was this guy.... had just caught a small bass and didn't have any bluegills for bait at the time. It's legal to use bass for bait in Iowa, sooooo...... ...more CANNIBAL! He ate his own kind! 17" 2lb 2oz

Finally got out since ice fishing and caught a few decent bass on spinner bait and Sencos. Hardest part about this pond is catching bluegills small enough for bait. ...more I should be eating these things..... but these will work! (FORESHADOWING)

My entertainment for the morning. This little guy, (fat field mouse), came running out by me on the ice. He came pretty close and stayed by me for about two minutes ...more before continuing across the WHITE snow! Thought for sure I would see a hawk or another bird of prey grab him before he made it, but the little guy made it all the way across! He needs to buy a lottery ticket! 😂😂😂

Pretty slow morning. Tried a couple of new ponds that I've never ice fished before. Mostly small gills and bass. Took a while to even find some marks.
