As my friends know, I leave the ponds alone while bass are bedding, so this is my 1st report of the little piece of Heaven we call "The Factory". It regularly yields gills exceeding 9" (9" earns a "Fish Ohio" award, although I have never registered for one). The gills pictured in this set of pics & the pics to follow were 9"-9 1/2" fish, less 2 that were in the 8"-8 1/2" class. Got probably 20 or so bass between us, mostly 12" to 14". Caught gills on woolly worms, muddlers, stealth bombers, & small foam beetles.
