Took my last ice fishing trip of the season to Burntside on Thursday. Went out on the snowmobile to fish better spots. I waited until daylight to go out so I wouldn't get lost or run into open water. When I got to my destination I discovered that the battery fell off of my Ion auger on the trip out (I won't make that mistake again). I backtracked all the way back to the landing before finding it on the ice. I got my lines in the water just before sunrise and caught a 24 inch lake trout 45 minutes later. Always exciting watching the lake trout peel line off of the tip-up with their strong runs. He quit running with the pike sucker soon after I took the video and I thought it may have dropped the minnow. Pulling the line in by hand I could feel it still on so I set the hook and caught it on the lip. Think I caught it before it was going to swallow the minnow and take its 3rd and final run. Was nice to finally catch a laker on Burntside again after 5 straight trips getting skunked. It was a beautiful day on the ice with good ice conditions, warm weather, and fairly calm winds. The creel survey guy stopped and checked on me. He said I was the only one he saw fishing on Burntside that day. He said that most anglers he checked on Burntside that winter were skunked for lake trout, so I guess it was just not my problem alone. 20250327_072410.mp4 -

But, the deep fried Okra went in the trash can. I've tried it a few times and it's just not for me. Neither is Grits, chittlins, or crackling! 🤮 -

I think it's alway fun to try local fish or foods when I go somewhere! 😋 A few weeks ago I was down on Dauphin Island Alabama and tried a little flounder. They had small, mid and large. My wife had crab cakes, I got the mid! 😳 😆
