Well I haven't had much time to post pics this winter, but I did get a nice fish on the ice a couple weeks ago from a lake up north. It was right on 35 inches, and later in the day I had another mid 30's come in. Only two fish I saw that day, but it was a blast.

Here's Saturday's catch with my new "Hardwater Hardware" spear. The largest is a 16.5 pound male. I'm now 6 for 6 with the new spear in 15 foot of water.

There is nothing wrong with that, those are some fine fish you have there. Just so you know it can be habit forming, winkcool.

I have never heard of a 16 pound male?

I have never seen a male that large either, but it was definitely a male. Large sperm sacks are sort of a give away.

Very Nice Hillbilly, 9tine and Betterlabs. Nice to see Kenneth smile working the decoys hope he gets a chance at one. I didn't have a cell phone with Sat or Mon for pic's I will have to remember next weekend.

A couple from Saturday relocating Dealer and Dorkfish's house, just as cold and miserable as Sunday only without wind.

The quote of the day was "why do we work this hard just to fish"

Hawkeye43 asked how big the females get around here. Well, here's this past Saturday's catch 26.5 lbs on my digital scale, 42-43 inches (I only had a 36 inch tape)

      And eat!  Turkey, noodle, wild rice!   Darn good for first run ever! 😋

      I have not eaten one, they are protected generally here in the states and Canada although there have been special seasons for population control but I don't think it was harvested for meat. I've hunted in countries where they are not protected and was with someone who shot one, I didn't eat it but it just stunk after I picked it up.

      Do you guys eat cormorant?  Even Indians call them fisheaters, and they don't eat fisheaters! 🤮

      Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well. We had ours yesterday because our RN daughter in law had to work today.  So I'm trying my hand first time ever at turkey stock for soup later! 😋

      Yes! Enjoy your turkey day everyone!

      Happy Thanksgiving everyone.   The ice is coming.  Eager to get out. Dug out my old strikemaster Thursday and got it ready. Smokes like  a chimney at times, but can't justify buying a new one when the old still works good.

      They definitely are stinky birds, the cormorant that is. The Sandhills don't really smell. When you clean them it smells more like venison than waterfowl. We figured he wouldn't pick it up since they must smell similar to chickens and my buddy has trained the Chesapeake to not go after their chickens at home

      Many years ago it was legal to shoot cormorants.  My Grandfather at the time also had a chesapeake bay retriever and he said that dog would retrieve anything in the worst conditions.   One time he told me he shot a cormorant.  The dog swam out out there and refused to pick it up.  Apparently because they are so nasty, stinky, and greasy.   He said its the only bird that dog would not retrieve in 11 years.
