PIR raceway in the ponds. Can’t eat them but fun to hook on spinnerbait. It’s a golf course and Portland International Raceway. We use to sneak in on bicycles over train tracks.

Over the past two years I've caught a few dandy's in the 5&6 # range ( LM Bass) and as most of the stagers know they were all on frogs( little black frog) . I fish NW PA and a 6# er is close to the top size . In my waters. Pymatuning and Edinboro Lakes. Good luck on your goals of getting a 6 #er .

DVTracker Loc: Harrisburg, PA.

The largest LMB, and over 5#s, I caught was many years ago from a farmer’s pond in Pennsylvania. That day I caught around five of them, never had a day like that again.

Sharing this pic, that caught my attention, that also looks like the guy caught it from a pond.

maxammo Loc: Wa

Wa st has a tough time growing large bass.
5 lb plus small mouths on the Columbia possible.
Try the mouth of the yak in May as the salmon smolt the tribe releases has made a buffet for those invasive buggers.
Potholes reservoir has some large mouth that go over 5 lbs at times.
Good luck and remember on the Columbia there is no limit so kill em all- save our salmon and steelhead!

"Good luck and remember on the Columbia there is no limit so kill'em all- save our salmon and steelhead!" Same goes for the walleye -- invasive and hard on the salmonids. Not much makes me angry, but when a guy says "she was laden with eggs so I let her go," that will do it. I've often wondered if the damage to the salmon and steelhead runs is caused by the dams themselves or the slack and warming waters that encouraged the proliferation of predatory fish and lots of water weeds for ambush conditions. I am old so it won't make a difference to me, but I would like to see the rivers run wild again (they did in my childhood) and see if the salmonids come back. I doubt they will unless something is also done about commercial ocean fishing, particularly from China and Japan taking unrestricted quantities of fish. A puzzle: Why has the Alaska and Canadian fish runs and size of the fish decreased when there are no dams? Maybe the problem is bigger than the dams.
