Ice BASSTRAVIGANZA Sunday !!!

[Blackfish Bobby]

Mother Nature cooperated beautifully AGAIN and gave Bfish Bobby Outfitters another gorgeous Sunday on the hard water. Flags Flags Flags !!!!.... We fished big baits and the big fish did not disappoint !!.... Great day....Great Friends.....Great Dog....and of course Great Eats and Grog !!!! All fish released as well.
6 inches of Ice. We worked 8 tip ups which caught all the fish....could not get a hit jigging.
Hoping for ONE MORE weekend !!! Great bait from Andover including those baby suckers !!!!! Thanks Garrett !!!

NICE !! How are the bass to eat, never tried one ?

[Blackfish Bobby]

All released....I am told they are very good from the cold water.

Why are all the bass hanging off a metal stringer then, just curious.

I was wondering that myself!

I sure hope you kept them after putting them on the stringer.

makes no sense to puncture the lower jaw and stress the fish out by dangling on a stringer. They are probably floating under the ice now.

Nice fish. It's ok to keep bass but idk what's the point of putting them on a stringer if you release them? seems like that amount of stress kills the fish

Exactly!

Thanks so much for reading my post !!
You hook them through the soft tissue in the top and bottom jaw and hang them in a hole in the ice.....you do not put the stringer clip up in the gill plate. Believe me my friends.... when I say RELEASED it means they swam away.... Further to that... IF we have any doubt....they would be table fare and/or resident Eagle feed.
Try it sometime....It works. Allows for a nice picture at the end of a great day and gives a good feeling knowing someone else will have a chance to do the same through the ice or in the not to distant future when we will have open water. BORN FREE......
