Hit the hard water this morning with a few friends...7 degrees at 9:00am in North New Jersey.......Was targeting other species when line went tight while jigging......Lifted up......FISH ON!!......I had no idea what to expect as with the multitude of species in this lake and to my surprise when it neared the hole, was my first bass of 2014!!......I'm on the board and it felt great....We continued to pound multispecies today including largemouth bass, pike, perch, snot rockets and a kitty cat also which was pretty cool , even though I don't like these fish.....Thanks to Rocco, Mikey, and Richard for the great company and getting the party started in 2014!!!!!......Started drizzling about 2:00 and I called it quits but they continued to fish...Maybe i'll get a call and some more pics later today....Here's a few to show it happenned.....Happy New Years Everyone!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Great 2014 bass Mitch.

Looks like it was worth the effort!

Looks like a good time.

Mitch, that's a beauty, considering it just came up through a hole in the ice in North Jersey.

You've got momentum now to really have a strong 2014. Good Job, Bro.

Oh and tell your boy, that I'm diggin' his Ike Lid. Just needs a little chin Foo Man Chu and it'll be tight!

What a great multi-species day for you all!  With some great sizes too!  I'm envious!
