Winter pond record 1

This is just extra notes on what species/hybrids I caught today and how many.

The bait I used was worms, pink fake maggots, and glittery green crappie power bait. I'm pretty sure I caught most of the fish off worm. The fish also seemed less aggressive due the colder water, but still much more aggressive than other fish form other bodies of water.

I caught 6 greengill. Most of them seemed "healthy" though one did have parasites of it.
I caught 3 green sunfish. A lot of them were small and seemed stunted, as usual for this pond.
I caught 1 bluegill. It seemed malnourished, likely due to it being out competed by the greengill and green sunfish for food.

Note: I did not take a picture of every individual fish I caught. I just took pictures of the ones that were the first catches of that species for the day or I just found interesting . I also didn't take a picture of the greengill with parasites because I did not want to hold it for too long.
