I never thought my largest bass would come through the ice but it did, and just barely. Had to stick my hand all the way down the hole to grab its jaw and wiggle it through the hole. Been trying to find the crappie again at herrick but all I've been able to muster up is some hog bass and ok gills.
Sorry about the picture quality, it was on my phone.
Nice fish!!! I can't believe that came out of herick lake a du page fp lake. Nice going. That had to be a blast on a short rod. Puts my bass I caught today to shame Good job and keep hittin the ice.

There are some monster fish in there. Earlier in the season they were attacking the gills and crappie at the hole. Had the camera down and they were schooled up into groups of 20-30 fish. We caught a few around 4-5# this spring while crappie fishing but never anything close to this big. I think I am going to have to start targeting them this year. I spent to much time after crappie and grassies that I forgot about the bass.
Nice fish!
I guess the re-hab they did at Herrick Lake a few years ago was done right
great pic btw
