Through the Ice

Not a lot of bites but those that did get hooked were worth it for fun and excitement on ultra lite tackle and 12 + inches of ice  Measured 22 inches

Nice fish Jingles, still gonna get your way and look you up my friend.  :tup:

Back in the day(pre 90,s) before Sullivans pond dried up, we used to pull fish out of Sullivans at an amazing rate, limit in 15-20 minutes. The fish were all about that length give or take and were shaped like footballs, just fat as could be, problem was the meat was the color of a chocolate Lab :chuckle:, just brown and muddy as could be, wed use barbless hooks and release them but a blast to catch em on lite gear :tup:....Once again dandy fish you got there :tup:

Nice catch.  :tup:

I loved laying on the ice on a sunny day and feeling/hearing the ice shift.  Good times.

Nice fish, looks like it’ll taste excellent too! I’m headed out today for ice fishing on Cascade lake in Idaho. They been nailing the perch pretty good I’ve heard. First time ice fishing, can’t wait  :drool:
$5 is a lot of money if you ain't got it
