You already know the story but, a few more pics can’t hurt 
Well we all managed to meet at the designated pooling spot! So off goes the caravan to the spot to get onto the ice. A small but dedicated caravan I should mention. Spirits were high; enthusiasm was over flowing from the group! Let’s get fishing!
Well it didn’t take long for Iceman to start the auger, let me tell you people, this man’s a serious fisherman
Wasn’t long before everyone is set up at a hole, as Oakborne also had his auger going and I believe there was another one over in the group which included RJ, Big-O, Jale6666 and his buddy 
damn, wish I could remember the name Anyway, wasn’t long before the action started, Nighttroller yells, that he has one
this I can tell you pumps everyone up. The only problem is it stopped all of us from fishing for at least 15 minutes. But how could you not stop to watch the excitement, really now 
Here’s a couple more shots of that beauty!
Well of course we all get right back to it, thinking, this could be a great day
Mind you, it already was for Richard at this point so we start working the holes a little more as seen here. Iceman and his buddy Dave, not sure he’s registered here as yet. Working those holes over well. 
For those of you who wondered about the house Big Jim had mention, it’s easy to find, here it is actually.
Despite some great differences in the terrain on the bottom in this area, no fish were caught here but it’s understandable why Big Jim likes it so much
Here’s Jazz working a hole and Duck Gunner working on his appetite
And of course, after that beauty, Richard’s right back at it….
Well since that first early Trout, unfortunately there wouldn’t be much other action despite moving to many holes. Here, Iceman and Duck Gunner are seen working more holes still.
Iceman’s buddy Dave found the day a little tiring, Hey wait a minute, I’m the one who stayed up all night and day
Finally about 5 and ¾ hours later, Duck Gunner says, “hey I got one†Iceman, Dave and I see he’s fighting something, but his rod wasn’t “about to break†or anything so I never even thought about videoing it
He lands a nice small Laker, I believe on an airplane jig
Well in the meantime, Big-O comes around from the other side of the Island to tell us the Perch are biting and they’ve got a couple doozies. After showing him DG’s Trout, he starts to laugh stating, “Our G**dang Perch are bigger ‘n that†followed with the trademark Big-O laugh “Ha Ha Ha Ha “.
Well we had to get a picture to prove that,
Beauties
Both of them And of course, DG decides he’s going to try airplane jigging in the shallows. Well he hits paydirt again. Only problem, the jigs almost as big as the fish
So much for Perching
Well finally Iceman, Dave and Duck gunner decide they’re calling it quits. I figure I’ve still got a couple hours so, around the island I go to fish with Big-O, RJ and Jazzman.
Jazz saying goodbyes to Iceman, Dave and DG
Here the boys were, RJ and Jazz working those holes for more of those killer Perch.
And of course, Big-O doing the same,
I fished about an hour with them there before we all pulled up stakes and left. All in all, what another great day. It was just a bunch of guys and gal, getting together for more comraderie and friendship out on the ice, Only way it could’ve been better, is if I’d a had some sleep somewhere in between all that
Thanks again guys
It was a pleasure once again Now here’s another video of the catch. You’ll see a little spot towards the end where the fish is coming out of the hole and I just instinctively reach to give RJ a hand pulling the fish out of the hole, which causes me to swing the camera away from the action for a short period. I tell you, after 35-40 years of reaching for fish, it’s a hard habit to break
