Never expected this!

Went out back today after work to see if I could catch some Northern pike and the bass were hammering the 1/2oz. spinnerbait!

Caught 4 in 20 min. and this 23" pig stole the show!

I must be feeding them just right.

Very Nice!!!!!  I may have to break out the spinnerbait after work tomorrow.  I should be done around 2 or so.  But my work for tomorrow is a change of pace, it is fishing related things, so I can't complain.

That is a very healthy looking fish.

Thanks guys!
Didn't even think about a fish ohio.

Only need 3 more for your master angler.  Sounds like you've found or raised a pond to do that in.  I did the same thing with my dad's pond.  It's dynamite with 24 inch bass and bluegill up to 13 inches and crappie at 17 inches.  A very healthy lake.

What's the deal with the fish Ohio?

[slabslayer]

If you catch a fish of a certain length you can go to the Ohio Division Of Wildlife's site and fill out a form and get a certificate for your big fish.  Go to the Fish Ohio section on our site, it has more details.  The info is in the ice fishing section, above the ice gear for sale and the classifieds section.  Hope this helps.  Here's the link to the board on our site http://www.icefishohio.com/index.php?board=49.0ite:
