I had to try and get one more bass trip in before the season closed. I went out with a good friend of mine and fellow staffer here in FM Joel Nelson. We targeted weed edges and sharp drop offs. We only landed 4 bass, but the trip was well worth it. All fish were quickly CPR'ed.. Here was the largest of the day.

WOW! Was this through the ice or open river? I can only dream of catching bass... in 3 months!

Yeah what slyster said give us some details!!! I would guess hard water but i could be wrong and what did that sucker fall victim to?

ike

[Slyster]

I see shoreline, that what makes me wonder. Maybe casting in to some open water somewhere... if there CAN be any more open water after that cold snap!

Nice fish buddy. Makes all of us want to get out and get the boat wet again!!!!!!

[Dan Brelje]

i don't know what i like better , the fish or the sweeeeeet jacket. nice fish deithz

[Deitz Dittrich]

Ice, no open water at all.. 6' of water with some weed growth very near. Dropping into 14 feet of water. This fish was caught on a tip-up. But we caught the majoirty of the fish on a jigging spoon.

The jacket is nice. Just bought it, and cant say enough great things about it. Ultra warm. My wife got it for me, as she is always ervous when I push the issue in the spring on the ice, tha artic armor has floatation built into it. So she got it for me. You can get it with the HSO logo on it.
