Well, kids.... I hope the old timers run went well. I got out on the ice for a few hours yesterday, while the rug rats were taking a nap.
We got 6 walleyes from 13-18" The 18"er was a real goofy looking fish. One of the skinniest walleyes I've ever seen, needless to say, we threw it back.
I screwed up on a big one, not sure what it was, but I can only guess it was a walleye, because that is all we caught...Flag went up, and the fish was pulling line real slow, which is a sign of big one. I spun the line to give her a little slack, took the line, move the tip up, she was still there, I could feel a nice heavy weight on the end, lifted the line, and she spit it....DANG!
I was hoping to get it in, I've never caught a big walleye through the ice, 25" is my best on hard water, and it was not on a tip up.
