Usually if you endure the cold weather and stay at it good things happen.
I was hoping for one in the 40+" range but after fishing 6 hours and it being 30* outside with a breeze. I'll take this little 32" one

It's always fun when they take it on the figure 8 after 2 or 3 go arounds

Damn dude. You don't have any 'quit' in ya!

30* and some wind, you earned that fish.

Tuff as nails.

Tough or dumb? Lol

Determined for sure...

I bet you had to dip your rod in the water and get the ice out of the guides didn't you? I do it often on Douglas Lake when the crappie are on fire.

Nice fish. Im curious as what brand of old boat that is. I have been looking for a old flat bottomed v to put a old evinrude 2 stroke tiller motor.

Yep sure do lol. Guides freeze all the time

I actually don't know what kind of boat it is. It's not mine. I have a 12x36 flat bottom alumacraft.
