Warmth extends pond bass fishing: Fishes or Fish of the Week

Rich Rogoz correctly noted, “The warm November weather seems to have kept the bass active.’’

That applies to fishermen getting out, too.

Rogoz caught and released a 23-inch largemouth (photo at the top), from among double digits of bass caught from an area pond last Wednesday on a white 4-inch swim jig.

Michael Callaway’s father sent along some of the quality bass his son was catching with minnows on a pond in Bartlett, including the one to the right.

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and good stories, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times outdoors page. The story part matters as much as the big fish part, generally.
