It also has the trigger on the gate so I can flip the bail open with my pointing finger on my right hand. Just a handful of little features that I liked and it felt very smooth.
So far everything I catch seems to be about a 1 lb small-mouth so I'm pretty sure the thing is incredibly underfished keeping everything fairly small but maybe I'll find some better spots when I get a boat and get out there a little more. I've pulled surprisingly large crappie and sunfish so it seems like there's some decent fish in there and I just need to find them. It's a large pond as much as it is a small lake so it'll be paddle-boat at best.

Get a fishing kayak. They maneuver well and there are tons of ways to outfit it with neat accessories. They are also pretty cheap starting at around $500.
