Nick Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 How many of you have every caught a laregemouth throughthe ice? My dad and I were tip-up fishing for pike on a lake and we were sitting there talking and he said a guy he workswith caught a bass through the ice last weekend. That was the first time Ive ever heard of someone catching one through the ice........So an hour passes by, we are catching some smaller pike and I noticed one of my flags hadnt tripped in a couple hours so i decide to to check on it. I pick it up by the bar that hold the flag down on the top (big mistake) and a fish jerked on it and that thing spun on my ice cold hand and boy did that hurt. Finally i gotthe line and pulled it in and had a 20" large mouth on the end of the line . My dad and I both had a good laugh for that one after the conversation we had just had....I insisted it wasnt possible to catch bass through the ice, lol. Then a couple hours later I had a flag and pulled in a 2nd bass.....not as big though. We ended up catching about 18 pike between the two of us and I got the 2 bass. Everything went back in the lake.

bulldawg Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Bass through the ice? I catch alot of them through the ice. As a matter of fact, the son & I caught and released 10 small Largemouths yesterday. I was using my old homemade wind tipups. It was a blast!

Guest goose21 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Bass through the ice? i have. we were fishing on this farm pond with 2lb test and i had been catching little crappie here and there. well i could see the bottom of the lake and my lure and all i was doing jigging it up and down when all of the sudden this two pounder engulfed my lure it was awesome. so it is possible but that is the only one ive caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: Bass through the ice? Funny you should say that....my other half and I were ice fishing and the traps were set up for trout, but all we got were a couple of bass (which hadn't been biting all winter). Maybe this is a sign that summer is coming??? (i know, wishful thinking!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
