Hammering Bass in NH

Luke was so itchin' for some fishin' this past weekend while in New Hampshire that he used a hammer to chip a hole through two feet of ice on Lake Winnipesaukee. Judging from the pictures, his effort definitely paid off. Still, he left slightly disappointed due to the fact that he hooked a bass that was too big to get through the hole. He was forced to reach down under the ice and pull the hook out of the mouth of the fish. When I asked him about the size of the fish he responded, "I'm not sure, but it had a really big mouth!"
