I went to my favorite "little" pond for a little bream fishing during lunch today. I really wasn't expecting much since it's about 742 degrees outside today. But usually the bream don't care much. Well I caught a small bass that was chasing little bream around in the shallow water. I caught a little bream, but it got off. No big deal, it was only slightly larger than the fly. And then I hooked what I thought to be a 2-3 lb bass. Once i got it up close to enough to see, I realize that it is a rather nice sized bream of some sort. It would be pushing close to a pound. I did notice that it was being followed by a couple of bass and a few other bream. I had it in shallow water when one of those bass that was following it around took it from me. The bass would have to be more than 7 lbs. to get a bream that big in it's mouth. i did see it's back, I would concur. Anyway, what i've learned from my little experience is that 5x tippet is too light for my "little" pond. Anyway, natural selection is beautiful thing to see in nature as long as you're not the one on the menu.
