dont bother me at all. today's plan.
ice fishing. who did i bring. my co-worker.
He never iced fish this year and we took the nice day to get hem out on the ice.
get on the ice @ 7:30 ish.
the snow and rain that we had Froze, and is now hard packed snow and AWESOME ice. 16'' if ice that is.
I take advantage of the hard ice to try new spots.
Walked across the Whole lake and settle on a hump.
i make like 20 holes and we ge tset up.
and YES AGAIN the first tip-up we put it BOOM!
Sly sets the hook and his first bass on ice ever!
trying to find and set up around the hump was hard. i couldnt find the drops i was looking for.
found one that produced this small pike!
Then this spot went dead..... cant say i didnt try!
The next plan was deadly....... no fish wise i mean leg wise...
walked acrossed the whole lake again!
what can i say the ice is so perfect and was easy to walk ON.
nothing like last week-end with rob.
Get to the other spot that i wanted to try out... and this is where HELL brakes lose....
while punching the holes the auger runs out of gas!
only was able to dig 4 holes...... so i set up the lines and have a bite to eat.
Then Bass addict has once told me engins can run on FUMES.
Crank...*Cranks* *CRANK* SNAP!!!
the cord broke !
guess he was lying....
1 houre goes by we are trying to put the cord back in and stephane (owner)
opens the jiffy up and the coil pop out almost killing him!
i saw my fishing day end right there.... until the fish gad hit me on the head and smashed IQ back into me.
HAND AXE FOR THE WIN! FTW.
went back to the good old point where all my good outting came from!
and can i tell you BASS!
and more bass!
A LA smo5
it was Fun to cut a hole with a hand axe . felt old school.
we hit about a dozen bass...
then it was routine.. cut a hole... then i had switch to a jig-head and a minnow.....
i felt a boom... something like a bass would do..... i set the hook like a MAD man because i had lost one at the hole recently.
but this time...... this one wasent a bass.
the line goes off........... and off..... and dosent stop......i have 10 lbs MONO ....NO leader....... good thing i set the hook right away...
this was a BRUTE of a pike..... but i didnt know this.....
no here is the part where you wont believe me but whatever.
when i comes to fishing i dont lie.
started the fight at 2:31 pm.... finished 3:02 PM...
31 minute fight..... i was shaking...... P'ed off... Happy..
1. shaking because no leader my biggest fish on ice.
2. Ped off because this burte was taking 2-3 minute pause.... like i cant bring it in and she aint moving style.
3. happy because i had set the hook very hard and if this is a pîke the line would have cut off already.....
FINALY i see the the KING KONG pike.
i had to go gil the freak . put my arm in the water. MISS!
bring her back... put my arm in the water.... TIGHT gils.....
FINALY get my fingers in and out she goes.....
i have parts on video ill try to edit the whole day.
But here it is the Pike i was Hunting for.....
GOT GIRTH BABY!!!
Man this was BY FAR the best fight of my life.
the longest fight of my life.
and a NICE PIECE O GIRTH!
WOW she was fat.....
FAT COW.
