The One The Got Away
Hit my ice fishin honey hole again today after work. Fished for the last 2 hours of sunlight.
Set up some traps. And go jiggin for some panfish.!
Before I can jig.
The flag pops. I miss the fish. As I was letting down the shiner. The fish hit again. I missed again.
So I let the shiner swim again. I saw the pickerel hit the shiner under the ice. Gota love black ice. I was pullin him in.
It threw the hook at the hole.
Reset 30min goes by. Same hole and trap. I finally caught the pickerel. Nothing big. I moved the trap to a hole created by someone else. It was right next to a blow down tree.
Hour goes by. My buddy's dog goes nuts and chases the flag. I look up line is peeling off. I knew it was a big fish. My buddy's dog starts biting the ice along the edge of the hole.
I bring up the fish to the hole. It threw the hook at the hole!
It was a big bass. All I kept talking about was how I'm getting a big bass
Well tomorrow that bassturd ain't gettin away.
My buddy's dog is crazy
Fisherdog! He learned that if a flag pops it's a fish so he takes off before we see it!
If the dog sees blitzing stripers or blues. He'll jump in the water and try to catch them.
