Never heard @saxo…
I hear you have some awesome Walleye fishing in those parts: We oldtimers call them pickeral in Ontario, would love to fish Minnesota/Ontario borderwaters park one day I’m a Smallmouth type guy, but we love to fish for anything biting. And Ice Fishing here is just a man cave or a fort for big kids to hotbox! lol

Oh so those deck boards are 2x10’s makes the bass almost 40 inches long, must be a Canadian record, also makes my lab 10 feet long…another fish story…but pics! theres proof LOL A really nice bass for up here, there 2x6 deck boards…so 22 inches and probably over 5 lbs easy. She is still swimming, and growing. Want my grandkids to keep having fish like this so catch and release.

Hell yeah! I dug two ponds on my farm in the 90’s . I catch lunker largemouth and bring them home live . That’s how I stocked my pond . I’m in the Ne . I’ve caught an 8lbr in my backyard . I love the small hidden ponds that are seldom fished . I’ve lost bass that wound have been 10 plus . Golf courses , old farm ponds . Love it …

They don’t grow that big north of Illinois.
My biggest largemouth was 23 1/2" 6 and a half pounds that’s a personal record by any means for Minnesota
To some that was a once in a lifetime.
Wife caught the same size smallie came in at 5 3/4 lbs

If I ever see a pic of you wearing that Habs hat again…well…I’ll just leave it at that…lol.
Pa’s record is 11 lbs for a Largemouth… Lake Nockamixon would be a prime place to break the record . It’s deep and there is ample shad and alewives for forage . They shocked the lake for testing and bass that eclipsed the record came to the surface and were tagged … I think Massachusetts has a record over the ten lb mark too from memory . Actually wasn’t a lake either I think . A slough of some river …

I don’t normally go after bass, I catch them while hunting northerns.
This is my go to lure/spinner
I bought Northland out of their discontinued old spinner line.
Dumb shits let the pros put their 2 cents in, they made the head bigger to stir up more mud.
I used them didn’t catch nearly what I normally did.
I use primarily the black spinners or scum frogs for Gators usually get one use out of the scum frogs.
They’re not cheap but they’re a blast, literally.
1/4 oz and 3/8 oz white, black and yellow they had
