This lil Smallie was caught on small gold spinner. He was not that big but he gave a fight. I thought I had one much bigger.

I wish I could attach the video for this one. I caught this in a small pond about 15 feet by 5 feet. There were a few of these in the middle of the woods and I tried casting for fun and BANG! Every cast was a small bass!
