Jim, never seen anyone thrust their arm so quickly through a hole into freezing cold water to get a fish that broke the line...Dude, you were like a freaking heron and you got that fish IN IT'S OPEN MOUTH!!!.......If I didn't see it with my own eyes , I would have never even grasped how cool the words you said described it........Anyway, I'm really happy you not only caught your first bass of 2014, but some nice ones....That's what fishing is all about, when a "rookie" gets something nice........I was glad I was able to be there when you and Keith(PGAProfishional) were able to get em through the ice for the first time, along with all the other guys from this site who caught the ice bug this past winter.hopefully the seed has been planted........that's what fishing is all about.......fun and friendship........we try to leave the bullsh*t at home for a few hours and get out there and escape daily life's issues..........I'm gonna try a few more times this winter to get some more ice bass, just lmk when you can go.....Company was good, the weather for the most part cooperated and the wind wasn't too bad either, and thanks for the sandwich also...Only thing missing from this report was a bear sighting!!.......LOL...Maybe next time...........Here's a few more pics I had in my phone......Ice Ice Baby!!!





Here's one I took of you Jim..Hope you like the silhouette shot....The one you got of me is cool and going in a frame for sure....



Way to finish off a cool afternoon w/ friends..
