Among winter-fishing targets composed of popular eater species like walleyes, trout, and panfish, largemouth bass generally get short shrift. That's a shame—whether due to the catch-and-release mindset of many bass anglers or the largemouths' undeserved reputation as a muddy-tasting morsel. However, icefishing and largemouth bass need not be mutually exclusive. Hard-water season concentrates your opportunities, and if you're inclined and it's legal to keep a few fish for the table, they will never taste any better than they do in winter. “I think largemouths are an absolute blast,” says Clam Ice Team pro Jason Durham. “A lot of anglers believe that once the water dips below 50 degrees, bass are no longer active, but that’s not the case at all. They’re very active and not that difficult to catch.”
