I fish Converse North Park and Converse Park ponds mostly from a 10' jon named "John 21-3" or from the bank. Biggest thing I've seen in the park (8-8-08) was a 23.5" 5# black bass caught by one of my fish buddies Steve. Steve probably owns the unofficial record at Converse Park, something like 26" and 13#. We are all catch/release and conservative conservationists who wish the game warden would show up and cite some inconsiderate killers just once.
I am an unpaid beta tester for a local lure inventor (Livingston Lures).
