Look what came out of pond yesterday \o/

Was fishing in the pond yesterday morning before chores and look what I caught.
She weighed in at 7.5 lbs. and was released after the photo. 
 
The big thing now is to thin out the bluegill population to get them bigger,
and maybe add some Tilapia to control the weed growth.

Wow, looks great!  I would've eaten it.

Nice job! That's a big fish.

Nice fish.... Where did you release it? Did you release it into hot grease

She went back to the pond, I figure in another year or two she be over 10 and worth measuring for a Fiberglass mount.
I'm a former Semi-Pro Bass Fisherman (toured the South East Circuit) and Catch and Release for bass is ingrained in my brain. 
Now a nice bucket full of Specks or Bluegill, that's another story  , also I can't seem to keep any gators in my pond,
as soon as they see me licking my lips they tend to disappear
