Late Christmas Gift- Rick's Wall Fish

Rick and I headed out yesterday afternoon for a few hours on the ice. We had between 5-6 inches of solid ice in the area we targeted. There were skaters and walkers on the ice so I would say the majority of the lake is safe. We set-up 8 traps with large shiners from Jerry's Bait & Tackle. The snow started to come down as soon as we got out there which made it a bit more scenic. Rick landed the first three fish of the day, all were bass and the first one was a solid two pounds. I went after the next flag and knew that it was a good fish...it ended up being around three pounds. As I was releasing the fish the far and deep trap went up. Rick made his way to the flag as I let my fish go. By the time I caught up to him he already had a Boone Lunker on the ice. The head and length of this fish was very impressive...had it been a little fatter she would have went for over 6 pounds...instead, Rick's first Wall fish in many years tipped the scales at 5lbs 2 ounces. After many outings with Rick, it was great to see him land a big one.

We would only catch one more fish over the next two hours but we didn't care as the first hour produced some great fish in the snow. I'm looking to get out again tomorrow and hopefully land my own December Wall Bass.
