Farm Pond Metler's Lane near Franklin Township

Farm Pond Metler's Lane

Had a great two hours of fishing! I normally don't put fish on the stringer unless I'm planing on eating them.
NO FISH WERE HARMED IN THIS PHOTO AND WERE RELASED.
After I released the fish back into the farm pond, I kept catching them one after another. I probability could have filled the stringer at least two more times before quitting.
