May 24 2015 Fishing at Riley Ponds

 James Brands with his 9" Sunfish 
 
 
 A Keeper - over 14"  Largemouth Bass.
 15 1/4" Largemouth bass leaping back into the water!

 :-) the 15 1/4" bass was slippery and got away.
 
 Nice bass - we think this was the 15 1/2 incher.

 Longer than the net!

 This 16 3/4 long bass was the story of the day. We fought it to shore only to see it get off the hook and get away. However it swam in a circle, attacked the bait a second time and after another battle we landed this lunker!

 Another largemouth longer than the net!


Another huge largemouth - one of eight we released today in the 14 - 17" range.

We kept the above 17 sunfish/bluegill which were all in the 6-9 inch range.  We also released around 40 smaller bluegill, a 10 inch rock bass, and 10 largemouth bass although 2 of the largemouths were very small. We think the lengths of the others were 13 7/8" 14" 14 1/8" 15 1/4" 15 1/2" 16" 16 3/4" and one over 17". What a day fishing!
