Don't get me wrong I was happy to catch the fish but I've fished this pond my entire life (and I've probably hooked that girl a few times haha) the pond is about 110 years old at this point, I probably have more hours on this body of water than anyone else in it's entire 110 year long history. That being said it's not much of anything to go and land a 20+ incher there. Doesn't matter if it's through the ice, hot, cold, storming, or anything if you put the right stuff out there you'll nail one. I don't start flipping out about these bass in this pond until they get over 23. The biggest one I've ever seen come out of there was one I caught through the ice when I was a little kid it was 24.5.
@@Kayceesoutdoorliving Well that explains the non excitement of that catch when normally on YT when grown men are yell in’ like a school boy…..’oh it’s a big one! It’s a hog!’ And as they’re reeling it in….’ It’s over 5 lbs! Well at least it’s a 3 lb..er, uh well it fought like a big un……uh …ehhh. Well at least it’s a Bass.’ Then they toss it back in as if it didn’t matter. Thanks for the back ground behind it all. Man, too funny.
I made the MISTAKE of lipping a Bass with a lure in it's mouth, ONE TIME. It shook violently and those little rapala hooks went in my finger joint, and DESTROYED the use or that finger forever. Don't be stupid,get a BOGO grip or something other than lipping it. Believe me,you only THINK you can control a Bass. I regret it to this day.
You also shouldn't hold a bass (especially bigger ones) by the mouth vertically. You always need your other hand underneath it supporting it. Otherwise you dislocate its jaw and its mouth will never fully close, making it much harder for it to eat.
Very good comment and advice. I creek fish a lot and most of what you catch are 1 lbs 1-1/2lbs. My GF goes with on occasion, and I had caught a decent rockbass. They fight good and shake a lot also. I was going to lip it and it was still shaking hard and I jerked my hand back. She said “what’s wrong?” and I said getting that 3 prong roaster tail hook buried in my hand is what’s wrong. It’s happened a few times but not as bad as you described losing finger function
STOP PUTTING YOUR DRY HANDS ON A FISH MAN I SWEAR TO CHRIST I WISHED SOMEONE WOULD TEACH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO FISH AT LEAST THE MINIMUM OF KNOWLEDGE LIKE N. O. T. PUTTING THEIR G D DRY HANDS ON A FISH SCIENCE HAS KNOWN ABOUT DRY HANDS ON A FISH FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AND IGNORANCE IS STILL MARCHING ON
It's literally my families pond so I'll handle the fish. I've probably caught that fish several times in its life. If i'd caught her through the ice there's a good chance I would have cooked and ate that fish btw. Also there's nothing stopping you from starting a RUclips channel about proper fish handling. By all means fight the ignorance.

Liked the video . Nice work. Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work. Tight lines man
nice fish...great job.....great lure.....
I love finding those small ponds, where no one has fished in years!
I have fished there for centuries mortal. Do not seek it, or you will pay, with your soul.
H&H double spinner. Best bait ever.
One of the best lures is the J-7 double jointed RAPALA….I’ve been using it for over 50 years….
I'll take it every time, heck with pan fish 🐟 😇🙏
Nice bass...HOOP
I wouldn't classify that lure as "tiny", but a nice catch nonetheless!
He’s using a lighter rod for that fish
Nice
Not a bad 3-1/2 or 4 lb Bass
Minnow bass
A big fish.
You need a net
I don't know why people think they have to use anything besides a 1/4 oz leadhead and a grub to catch Crappie.. Bass will hit them too
You mean a 1/32 ounce trout magnet jig and a Gulp! Minnow
Sounded all disappointed. LOL

Definitely helps land fish before they can jump off the hook
