I’ve driven past this church with a big pond next to it for years on my sales calls near Lynchburg Va. Yesterday around 430 I see a guy out cutting the grass so I did a u turn and drove back. I introduced myself and said I’ve always wanted to fish that pond. He was the pastor and said go for it but he heard it was just crappie and catfish in it. As always I had two rods rigged In my SUV so I re-ragged for crappie with a minnow jig. First cast was a crappie second cast was a 2 lb LM. I switched to a ribbon tail Berkley power worm and caught 7. Then changed out to Zoom super speed craw and caught 6 more. Here I am loving it in my dress.pants and dress shirt tearing it up even kneeling in pond scum to grab the bass. Pastor walked down when I was catching and gave me a cold beer! Great day. I will be back

Church, pastor, fish and beer. You’re living right my friend. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Nice fish. Shame on that Pastor. I'm glad he's Not my Pastor.

Yo Fatman what’s the big deal? Is that pastor evil cause he drank a beer?
That's not a good Witness for Jesus. I'm a Conservative Christian and know it can be a stumbling block for young Believers. Have a great night. 🤗

Yes, definitely, and a nice one. I have never heard of a pastor coming to the rescue with a cold beer! That is a might interesting concept, fishing, beer, I might have to join that church if I lived close. Just Sayin...RJS
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Jesus drink wine? Excess and being irresponsible is the problem.
Pastors are human as well. I would gladly stop and test the water and try my luck. Thanks for the
pics.
