So I had the surprise of my life this weekend while ice fishing for perch at Pineview Reservoir, UT. All of a sudden I hooked into something that I knew wasn't a 7" perch and thought it might be a tiger muskie or a carp. Imagine my surprise when I pulled this 20", 5lb pig of a Smallie out of the hole! This is the only small mouth I have ever caught while ice fishing and is the biggest bass I have caught period. It might seem like just an average fish to you BFT'ers back east but this is a big bass for Utah! The ice rod pictured is 24". Enjoy the pics!
