Nice catch though, that thing is huge. I wouldn't mind trying some ice fishing this winter. I would love to catch a monster like that again.
Well done. What did he catch it on? |
We have found that using very large smelts (the ones you can buy to eat), bought at Sobe's, tends to attract much larger fish. Sylvan Lake has lots of huge fish so it is the ideal place to use them as bait.
His setup was a
Windlass tip-up, braided 25 lb test line, steel leader, and three large treble hooks into the smelt (these smelts are about 8-12 inches long).
