Mike Iaconelli

It’s not often I read anything positive about pro bass fishermen Mike Iaconelli. My fellow fishing bloggers seem to really hate the guy for some reason. Now I haven’t seen much of him, but what I have seen, I like. The man has an absolute passion for the sport of fishing and shows. Sure he hams it up for the camera and is loud, but I think he’s good for fishing and his antics will be sure to attract new people to the sport. Just check this out…

I mean, who does that?

Bass Season Is Here Ontario!

Its finally here folks, bass season! Makes me wish I still lived in Ontario so Jon and I could be fishing together again. Jon should be fishing at this very moment and hopefully he’ll be getting into some nice size bass. I’m sure he’ll have a report as soon as he gets back into the city. In the meantime, here are a few Ontario bass from previous seasons, submitted by Paul Williams.

7lb 3oz largemouth bass

With this fish, I wasn’t targeting bass at all. I was fishing for perch when I had a follow up from a big dark shadow after reeling in a small one. So I put on my big bobber and casted back out. To my amazement it took the giant balsa wood float straight under. Thinking it was probably a pike, I set the hook and loosened the drag to be ready for what usually takes place when you hook a nice northern. But much to my surprise, I watched my line start to rise quickly to the surface and then the biggest largemouth bass I have ever seen broke water with a giant leap.

Thanks Paul!
