Went out fishing for the first time this year today. I caught one small bass on a Cotton Cordell super spot working it extremely slow. This is the first time I have ever gone bass fishing in the month of February, so I wasn't expecting to catch anything. It was a pleasant surprise and gives me confidence to  go out and try again while the water is cold. Feeling the body of the fish was a weird experience to feel one that cold. I am trying to get the picture off of my friends phone to post on here. Its small, but I will always remember it because of how cold it was and how surprised I was to catch it. Good luck to everyone else that goes out in this cold weather.

Yep - they feel ICE cold !

Glad you made it out.
