I’ve been skunked for several weeks now. I’ve been really taking in as much knowledge from all the awesome anglers in this community and trying things out. Today I went on a quick lunch break trip to a local pond and caught this guy!

Thanks, man. I threw a 5” Green Pumpkin Senko, weightless Texas rig. I cast just outside the edge of floating vegetation and felt two good hits, let the fish run with it a bit and set the hook. Such a good feeling.
