The result...nasty GATOR!!!

Here is one from last weekend. My middle boy caught this smallie while targeting perch. It was a good battle for him. Never caught a smallie in this spot before, pretty odd. It was a gorgeous day on the ice. 41 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The fish were not as cooperative though.

My daughter an her biggest of the season 24"

Couldn't ask for better conditions haul all your gear and a kid!

Kids

Hand is either in the hole or in the minnow bucket! 3 pairs of gloves are a must!

Some bonus Rock Bass at night, Having some fun in the process.

My heaviest northern to date. Very fun fish on a rattle reel!

Here are my favorite three for the year. I caught my personal best walleye and got my girlfriend into ice fishing the same weekend. She also caught a pretty decent one for her first time targeting walleyes. My fish went 29.5" and hers went 25". She also caught a tagged walleye that same weekend. This is also our best sunrise picture for the year...

PFUNK... that sunrise pic is really good.

My favorites are a Toss up between these two....

I just like how small a big bass can make an 8" hole look. (this bass was a bit over 20" and 4.5lbs)

not my PB pike... but my first pike on Ice, first pike on a tipup. Also neat this was caught the day that I introduced my dad to ice fishing!

Gotta give the girlfriend all the credit there... she is always snapping photos and thank god she does cuz once I'm on the ice I go into "fish mode". That is an awesome pike for the first one ever on a tip up. Congrats

This is from early ice on Upper Red Lake. The smooth ice towards the back of the picture is just a day old.

did not have much luck at all with the fish but got lucky enuff to take my son out couple of times with me, now just gotta find better fishin holes for him.

I dont have any pics to add yet, mainly because I cant find the cord to hook my camera up to my computer. Just going to buy another one eventually.

PFUNK-where was the pic of the sunset taken? Thats an awesome photo.

I would guess Milacs but could be wrong

smeese-that was my guess too but its been a lot of years since I've been up towards Gods country so I figured I would ask.

The girlfriend got a few bass through the ice on Mille Lacs this weekend....Before this year, I'd only caught one in my entire life through the ice, and this spot--for whatever reason--has kicked out twenty or so over the last three weekends. It's only a few feet deep, so it's been fun sightfishing for them.

[PFUNK]

Yep... That sunrise photo came from the big pond. Definitely one of my favorites. The sky was very colorful that entire weekend.

now here is a fun fight on light line and a small short ice rod. it was my first ever channel catfish thru the ice. fishing crappies and look over to see the bobber 6 inches under the surface. was also lucky enough to catch my first ever walleye ice fishing. I normally ice fish for bluegills, crappies, and cats(once and awhile may be a northern on tip ups). the eye was most likely a yearling and went back right after the pic.

here is the cat :

here is the walleye :

I normally only fish walleyes during the summer and that is only on mille lacs. this was not on mille lacs but was in central minnesota.

[smeese]

Nice Cat!

[james_walleye]

My 7 year old son got his first weekend ever in our mille lacs sleeper. This is one of 2 24" he caught this past weekend.

[Brad B]

Nice Cat!

One sunday out on Forest Lake

[ski_otter]

32.5 in didn't get a girth

May be my biggest fish through the ice. 2 lb test on the cheapest rod/reel I own. Took nearly 30 minutes to land it and the fish was barely hooked so I was able to return it and hopefully it can turn into a monster. Thanks to neighboring fisherman who helped me land it since I was fishing solo

[Mike Stark]

My Dad's walleye of a lifetime from Lake Winnipeg.

[pushbutton]

Not as big but my dad's first fish EVER through the ice.......and since my son, already a "pro" was there to "help" him land it..... made the catch even better!

This is all on South Lindstrom, and the cut-off 5-gal pail tops are great for keeping stuff from falling into the ice hole, as well as keep slosh in the hole, and with a lid, helps the holes stay open.
