Yesterday was my second trip to Reed Memorial. We fished three lakes: Bodarc, Bluestem, and Catclaw. Between the three of us we caught 11 Largemouth Bass, with the largest being 4 1/2 lbs. Fishing was tough and reliant completely on finesse techniques: fishing near structure and shade, but from what we saw and heard from others we were wildly successful. Give it a few weeks to allow for cooler weather and it should be hot with much more active fish. Overall it has loads of potential, the rumor of 8-9 lb Largemouth and 10 lb Wiper, and is very scenic. If you live in the KC area and fish, Reed Memorial needs to be on you list of spots to hit this fall.  Here are the pictures: 

Bret and I were messing around at the pond the other day for a half hour or so and came up with an interesting catch. While retrieving his worm, a large bullfrog decided that plastic worm was on the menu for the day and soon enough ended up on the end of a hook. Worry not, we were able to get him off easily enough but it was still unexpected. 

We also caught a largemouth each. No Boga Grip so not sure on weight. At the moment I am only able to upload the picture of my fish due to technical issues but we will try and get Bret's fish up soon.
