Ok, I work with this guy and he bet me 20 bucks, that I couldnt catch a bass on

a drop shot through the ice, hes been out there a couple days and only caught 10 bass on live bait, now anybody that knows where I work knows theres lots of fish in that pond or

lake, whatever, so we go out, I tell him to drill a hole, (of coarse he doesnt realize, its a ledge in the deepest part of the lake,) I rig up my 7ft drop shot pole, take a 4 inch emerald shiner GULP, and drop it down on 6 pound floro, it was windy as a son of a gun, so I drop it down, shake the rod tip just a tad and TICK TICK, there it is a 3lber I only had been fishing less than 5 minutes, So now he knows the ledge but thats alright he bought me my Gulp for half the year. I just got permission to fish another private lake, that suppossingly has some brutes, we will see if they like the GULP.
