yup they are always welcome on the end of my line or my sons while we are ice fishing down there.
heres a few from last couple years we have pulled out of pelican lake on my custom plastics I make
my bass wasnt as big but thats what happens when i take my little fishin buddy with me
another angler came over and said wow little buddy nice bass and holy cow its cold look at your teeth some froze up and fell out. it was only -22 below zero I said ok are you ready to go he said no Why I said im getting cold he said you can reel up the next one I get on it warms you right up
I LOVE ice fishing but when it the ice is gone I love to go back and fish off my boat. this one was from pelican lake 2 yrs ago that I caught 21" 7lbs caught and released off one of my 3 1/2" top water frogs I make
