ok, went to holdover spot today. walked down to the water to see it was frozen, bout 1/4" thick. there was open water farther out so i was casting over the ice into open water then reeling in till i hit the ice and sliding my jig back to where i was standing, cast again, and repeat. after bout an hour i got a hit, hooked him and fish started peeling line over the ice. this was a nicer fish, especially because i was usin 6 pound test on a feshwater rod. so after bout 5 minutes of fighting and seeing my line dragging over the ice and makin some bad sounds the fish finally put his head through the ice and i began to winch him in, his thrashing breaking the ice along the way.i finally landed him. hes 32" caught on a homemade 1/2oz bucktail, pink over white. i wanted some fish to eat so i kept him. ill never forget this fish.
december 28th, a newspaper to back it up.
