Here is my families old 12 acre ranch pond! This pond has got 5 acres of 20 foot deep water. The pond record is a 14 pond monster Largemouth Bass. The water is down quite a bit if you look you can see the high water line. These pictures do not show all the pond 2 coves are missing.

Thanks its official name is Saw Mill Pond. However being an avid fisherman I called it the Dream Pond. I live on that ranch from 1994-2009.

I wish i had a lake like that!! Id fish it every morning. Is the lake in cali too?

It is out of California. A golf course paid top dollar for that ranch from or family. The only way anyone other than me can go fishing is to buy a fishing guide for a day.

Not every morning! I went fishing on that pond every evening since 1999. I had one year I went fishing 340 days out of the year and never got bageled. I friend and I used to say if you could not catch a fish on a lure in this pond you were not meant to catch fish on that lure.

If your near Yosemite in the city of Copperopolis look for fishing from Saddle Creek Golf Course. Say Jeremy A. Rich sent you for guided fishing.
 
Here is a picture of the new pond record Largemouth bass! Have a look it was 28.5 inches long and estimate to be between 12-14 pounds.

Nice pond! The location is beautiful :)
 
i will NOT lie that is a hell of a bass but sadly i just dont care to target them its odd lol but if im after a fight ill ask a bass to bite..but my god im hoping i can make my pond in the next 20 years just like that get like cattails and throw in some smallmouth/largemouth bass, northern pike, walleye, muskellunge, yellow perch, sunfish, etc i hope i will make it a good 30 feet or more in some areas..but thats in 20 years...so its all just a image now lol
