My son and I finally got our ice fishing gear put together and went out for a couple of hours late this afternoon to do some jigging on Honeoye Lake. This catch represents three firsts for me. It was the first fish that I've ever caught through a hole in the ice, it is the first fish that I've ever caught in the month of January, and it is the first fish for me this year. I'm even happier that it was a bass! There was 6" of ice with a cover of about 5" of snow. We were using Jigging Raps tipped with fathead minnow heads.

Sounds like 3 good firsts for me. That's awesome!

Nice....................
