Finally.....
My goal this winter was to catch a lake trout through the ice. It took a dozen trips and there was a bunch of anguish 3-4 weeks back when a good one snapped off in the hole but on Wednesday, mission accomplished.
And back she goes.....
The head shakes and drag peeling runs are quite the rush. There was about 30" of ice to drill through so there's probably a few more laker trips in the weeks to come.
P.S. - Those Bassassin guys take some good pics.....
