I went to check for ice on one of my favorite trout lake for ice-fishing. But there was no ice at all! I decided to cast couple of time to see what happens. At around 15-20 cast, i got hooked up! But my rod was snapped in half instantly. It was broke at between 3-4th eyes. (I have 6 eyes on my rod. Anyway, I had my drag low for trout due to soft mouth. I had everything going on my way but puzzled how rod can broke that fast during the battle. I was still battling the trout until I can see steelhead jumping and hook come out at exactly moment! Bummer! But lucky, I usually have back up pole to go. I tried to cast couple of time. Maybe at 10 casts, I got another hook-up. rod was snapped in half instantly again! But this time, it was broke off where my cork that hold on the reel. This is my first time that rod broke on me. I never had one rod broke on my whole lifetime.
my question is my rod is broke due to cold? (temp was around 30-35) my rod is gsx titanium med-heavy (I just brought this rod at couple month ago) and buzz rod (custom made from texas, I owned this rod for almost 12 years now) | - |

IT was totally AWESOME day! Three of buddies and I went to ice-fishing. All of them haven't ice-fishing before. I explained to them and etcs about tip-ups. After bunch of pranks with fake exciting that there are flag-up! all of them ran to whatever that I tried to ran that direction. only until they realized that there is no flag-ups at all. haha! Anyway, we only fished 4 hours! with 60 shiners and totally burned out all 60 shiners!! At one point, 9 tip-up was popped off!! all of us had to chased them all. It was DEFINITELY awesome day for them!
29 largemouth bass
16 northern pike
8 perch
2 crappie
Total = 55 fish in 4 hours!!
There are bunches of losing hookset and many broken line until I put 100 pound - 6inch metal leader on tip-ups.
big-fish of the day was 6 pounds Largemouth bass and 38 incher Northern pike. Then rest of them was normal size fishes. It was 7 inches of ice at this lake. Best of all, there is nobody around this lake! other than coyotes and deer come visit us! Until our third hour, everyone was gathered around us! Big spot burner!! |
