[FishOnFishing]

pike? trout?

[bradybackmtn]

Those are some nice bass. Is that a private lake?

[SuperMasterfisherman]

did you have live bait on the tip up or fluke bait type plastics?

[bitterangst]

Live bait and gulp smelt.

both work well. live bait does a touch better.

how did the wire leader not scare away the bass?

[bitterangst]

these bass are not leader shy.

[roccosk24]

how did u manage to use a wire leader and not frighten the bass off? when i use a leader fish rarley come near my lure

[roccosk24]

ohhh nice. and the wire leader didnt make the bass finiky? thats odd. normally if i use a leader i dont get anything!

[bitterangst]

these are light pressure bass. very little fishing pressure.

very easy to catch.

[roccosk24]

im curious to know what pound test you were using? and did u have a leader on there?

[bitterangst]

we use wire leaders for the bass (just in case of some pike action.)

for the panfish, i use 4 pound flourocarbon.

sometimes 2 pound flourocarbon if the fish are finicky.

being a lifelong ice fisherman since Ive been 3 and now am 34. I can always tell an amateur fisherman, it is easy. Amateurs dont use arctic tip ups, or some may call them beaver damns. Tell tale sign is a plastic polar tip up.

Nice mess of gills though

[olddickbrent]

fuck bass, bluegill on the otherhand you can actually do something with

[crazydux9]

Very nice fish GREAT JOB

[omartooly]

what happens if the fish is bigger than the hole?

[kamilfishes]

usually it fits but if it doesnt u can just make the hole bigger
