What the? Bass?

I finally got out for a couple hours on the ice today. Minutes after setting up I caught a couple perch. Finally had a free minute to get the Aquaview down the hole. Had a great time watching bass after bass swim by. A few would look at my offering but most just did their best impression of a submarine. A couple actually grabbed the plastic I tipped my jig with, but wouldn't inhale it far enough to get the hook in their mouth. If I didn't have my camera I wouldn't have known there were any fish down there. Made for a fun afternoon!

I hear ya'. I've got an underwater camera too and I'm still tickled to death by watching fish behavior even after owning it for a few seasons.

It's amazing how lethargic those Bass get during cold water.

I caught a nice largemouth two weekends ago on a tiny waxie with a #10 ant jig... Every winter bass I have ever caught has been on micro-offerings like this. Summertime, they eat whole ducklings; wintertime, crappie minnows are too large! Go figure! Fun fight under the ice, then a quick release.
