I hadn’t fished in two weeks and needed a fix real bad so I loaded up the ‘yak and headed for a local mud pond this afternoon. Hit the water just after 3pm and about 45 minutes later I stuck a good solid fish on a Flat A. It almost felt like a snag at first but then she started peeling line off my reel like crazy. I knew it was a good fish but when I got her to the boat she was bigger than I expected. I didn’t have my digital scale with me but she measured 24 5/8 inches with a nice fat girth. I estimate she was between 9 and 9 ½ lbs, my personal best from a kayak! Caught another one around 4 lbs and had a third good one get off before I could get it near the boat. It got really foggy around sunset, kinda spooky but neat.

9.27 lbs by the length to weight tables

She was missing her left eye.
