This morning Scott H of Baraboo took me along on a memorable panfishing trip. Cold as it was we were having so much fun that we did not feel the chill. We've fished that same pond through the ice and a great number of times I have been broken off by slabbos that eat through 2lbtest like butter... But now they did not care even 4 lbtest lines were working although water was clear. Hot color was black plastic on bright jighead, Bass seemed to like it too, we hooked into a few fish on white tipped with a waxie but black outfished any other try. Biggest Gill was 10" and thick! Another strange deal was the fact that we were catching fish 2-3 down in 7-12FOW! Lucky for me Scott only likes Crappies and gave me all of his Gills as well ;).
