Title: Getting Pumped
Post by: dylan8351 on Sep 06, 2013, 09:19 PM
Although bass was the last species we thought we would catch, this one turned out alright. Can't wait to get back on the ice!

Here's the video of the catch!

Wouldn't have even thought about it! That was the third time my buddy had caught that fish over the years. It has a notch out of its tail. First time he caught it was in 2006 and it went 6.5 pounds then...

It was from Vermont. We were fishing for bluegill so this was a surprise! Not to mention the first fish was a rainbow!
