City_Slicker Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Man thats a heck of a fish. Did that fish see the frying pan or live again for me to catch it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks City_Slicker. Nope, that one went back in the lake. All the big gills I catch go back in the water. Good Fishin, Matt Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman-k Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Nice Bull Matt. I owe a debt of gratitude to you and others on this site, as I have completely gotten the ice-fishing bug after about fifteen years of open-water fishing only. I used to go ice fishing for pannies two or three times a week years ago. but life changes and things get pushed aside. After reading and seeing some of the ethical behavior of you and your fellow FM staffers, I am getting back in the game big-time. Again congrates on the nice Sunnie!

Matt Johnson Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 wolfman,Thanks for the kind words. You and all the other FMers are the reason why I enjoy this site so much, a great group of people and some outstanding anglers! I see you're located right in my neck of the woods. We should chase some pannies sometime...Good Fishin,Matt Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman-k Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'd like that Matt, but I work a 7 P.M.-3:30 A.M. shift at the P.O., and I can only get out on my days off, Sun-Mon. Hopefully, work will slow down some this summer so I can get out more! I would be interested in trying to get together sometime to chase those crappies & sunnies though. I used to fish Medicine Lake alot back when I was a day-walker. Shoot me an e-mail, [email protected]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleplay Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Matt,When you left the fishing spot/hole after Cool Cats I figured you had all called it a day. My son and I finally pulled the plug only to see you all fishing another hole--was that big gill from this weekend? Doesn't really matter anyways but that is a bigtime bull. That Horseshoe chain of lakes is very interesting and sometime down the road I'd like to see what else it has to offer---cats, eyes, crappies and gills like that-nice.

hanson Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I know those gills were biting light and being very finicky. Looks like the finesse presentation paid off for you again. Nice fish Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
