Looking at the pics, I actually caught one similar through the ice several years ago.
I released that one without measuring or weighing it because the season was closed on them. I can't remember for sure if it was a closed season or catch and release only season? I just remember I couldn't take it home and she went back in the lake.
It definately put up a fight with the hand over hand method of retrieval!
