Thanks, I did catch one pretty decent pike, probably 5 pounds or a little less. Of course the camera was about 100 yards away so I didn't get a pic :'(

Nice pics Pikeguy!  Too bad ya lost the biggun - but you'll get him next time I'll bet! ;) I've been in that same boat too many times, lol - maybe that's why we all keep going back for the next round???  ;D  I'll bet the bass was fun on the tipup though eh!

Unfortunately my buddy got to the trap before I did, but he said it fought nice! I'd really like to start getting into some bass as they're my favorite fish ;D

Ahhh... I see.  We'll good luck on some of your new bass adventures if ya start any!!!  ;D  I've never landed any bass through the ice yet in my three years on the hardwater.  Would be quite fun I would imagine.  I caught a beautiful looking 4 1/2 lb'er from a lake in MN this last summer on light-action crappie tackle and MAN - that thing fought FOREVER!  Was a riot... never have ate em though.  They good eatin?

I like them as much as or more than walleye :thumbsup: . Gotta come from good clean water though.  ;D I'll probably catch hell from some people on here, but I think they're very good eating.

Really eh?  I might just have to give them a shot sometime.  The lakes I fish are pretty good clear water, especially the one in MN that we go to every summer for a family trip...  I thought I always heard that bass weren't good eatin, compared to walleye, perch, and northern - but I think the next avg. bass I get I'll clean just to try it for once!  Thanks for the info on that!

Nope. Why? Are they junk?

Bass are maybe not for everybody, but I like them, especially over an open fire ;D

I don't about junk but from my own experience I've lost a couple of nice fish on them. I make my own leaders now so I can only blame one person if they fail now.

Apparently it's from an albino that's been around for a long time. Can't shoot them ::) ;)

Are you really not allowed to shoot them. It is very rare that an albino makes it past hunting season in NY.
