Fish #3 on the Mepps Black Fury | Oklahoma Pond BFS Session

Fish number three on the Mepps Black Fury — Oklahoma pond, BFS ultralight baitcasting combo, and a retrieve that actually worked. Average Angler Life keeps it simple: one classic spinner, light gear, and a steady retrieve just fast enough to keep the blade spinning.

No extra rod tricks. No rushing it. The Black Fury flashed, the fish committed, and number three hit the board. You’ll see the BFS setup, the retrieve speed that made the difference, and how this inline spinner still produces when you let it do its job along the bank.

Perfect for BFS fans, ultralight anglers, and anyone who likes seeing a single spinner get the job done in real time.

3 Fish on the Mepps Black Fury | BFS Ultralight Baitcasting Pond Session

3 Fish on the Mepps Black Fury | BFS Ultralight Baitcasting

Three solid fish on one classic spinner — the Mepps Black Fury — using pure BFS ultralight baitcasting gear. Average Angler Life keeps it simple on the pond: one lure, light line, and a BFS setup that lets you cast tiny inline spinners with surprising accuracy and distance.

The Black Fury proved once again why it’s a pond staple when the fish are looking up and the water is clear enough to show those flashes. I work the banks, adjust retrieve speed, and let the spinner do the talking. You’ll see the strikes, the hooksets, and the real-time adjustments that turned a quiet stretch into three fish on the board.
