- No
Funny thing about the hybrid (will download pics in next couple days) it was caught at a pond on a golf course near a huge metropolitan airport. My brother manages the course and lets me in to fish the ponds early and late, absolutely no one else fishes these ponds. It is somewhat surreal to have huge 767's buzzing overhead and catching .75-1.25 lb gills on a fairly regular basis.

"Went out to check a couple places after Thursday’s wind and storms..dirty and low conditions persisted, only five bites, caught four bass"
"High winds have plagued us the last five days but I had a short window yesterday morning so I jumped at the chance to splash a local creek"
"Today’s creek was negatively impacted from the last long duration low water event…19 total fish on the day of the May Full Moon, surprising"
"First time on the coastal marsh in 2026…it did not disappoint….falling wind tide early gave us a hot bite, wind shifted and shut them down"

It's exciting to see that you've nailed some really big bluegill and redears. We'd love to see a photo or two when you get a chance.
