Rod Caster Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Caught from Nipissing this winter. WTH?? I've never caught one through the ice! Really cool. Me and Nipfisher caught some around 18" a few years ago, but that was during the spring run. I don't know why I'm so excited by this hahaha. http://www.recordfishcanada.com/white-bass1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANUK Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I didn't think there was any ice on Nipissing mid January this year Awesome fish ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Wow! Very cool! Nice to see a young kid get the record too. Anyone ever eat one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 The quality of the meat was right up there with walleye, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Absolutely delicious, and yes Nip would've had good ice on the 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 That thing is huge! Congrats to the young man who caught it! I have only tried eating them from Quinte, once... and I won't be doing that again! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 That is a huge fish for sure but I'm not sure how official this record is. Only a picture needs to be submitted. As well, take a look at the 8.7lb largemouth picture on the web-site. Not sure that is a very accurate measurement. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 ive caught one white bass in my life...and at the time i was new to fishing georgian bay so i didnt think too much of it...in hindsight if the ontario record is 19 inches and 3 lbs...the one that I caught was pretty big and definitely worth a photo (not this big though, that things a pig)...if only I had knew at the time!

Tjames09 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I caught a blue walleye this winter on Nippising, was really cool to see. I have a picture, but not the greatest, doesnt show how blue it was. It was really neat to see in person, very different color than normal.

dave524 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Used to get a few good sized ones 14-16 inch in Erie off riggers and divers fishing the eastern end for Yellow Pickeral, maybe 2 pounds or a bit more , nothing quite that big, never kept one for the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Nip has blue and yellow-coloured walleye. I know ther are genetic debates and the true blue pickeral only ever existed in Eerie (extinct now), but it's obvious that some fish have a different tone when you see them side by side. I read that nip used to have a blue pickeral population prior to the stocking of the yellows in the early 1900's but I don't know if they were true blues or just a colour variation. There are some historical topics on this board you should search up, interesting reads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon I have no idea if these are legitimate records; the perch record on that site seems small as well..plus a guy just sent me pics of 16" perch caught on Lake Superior!

He would troll for Yellows with a June Bug spinner tipped with worm or worm harness , he actually used a light monel wire on a Pfleuger Rocket for depth, a precision troller even back then. The Blues were always caught by anchoring and fishing fairly deep water with minnows pretty much the same as jumbo perching is done in the same area today. Blues were never a big fish, not much bigger than a jumbo perch , big eyes and mottled somewhat like a Sauger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are rules and conditions to be met before a new record is recognized. For more information, look up the OFAH web site under programs.
