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.

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...

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

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

I would guess Milacs but could be wrong

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.

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. smile

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 :

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.

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

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.
