Caught a 20 lb cat as well as a bunch of 10 lb catfish before they rotenoned it.  It took some effort to get them, so I haven't been back figuring that they probably killed a large number of the catfish, even if they put some of them back.  If they can tell me they put most of them back, it might be worth pursuing.

Yes, and it gives walleye a good run for the money.

Yeah I agree, they put up quite a fight! If people try to icefish this lake just be aware that it is fed by underwater springs. You might think your secure on a solid 6" of ice and then drill a new hole a ways off and realize your standing on only a couple inches. Just be careful, but yeah the ice fishing can be great if you can fit those big ones through the hole  :chuckle:
