The last few years I can't remember catching any bass at all. This year I seem to be catching them left and right. I can't hardly keep up with my tip-ups the way the bass have been hitting them this year. Did catch quite a few nices ones so far.
Also, I have never caught this many tiny panfish (2-3"). I don't know how many perch have ended up in the minnow pail. It's pretty sad that the Shiners in the pail are bigger than some of the fish I'm catching lately....lol.
I have been catching quite a few 9" gills though so I can't complain about that.
