hit the king for the first time and had a real hot bite going. we were only in 25 fow and hooking up to trout every 20-30 minutes. we iced 4 and lost at least a dozen. they put up an incredible fight on a jig stick!

this was my first trout through the ice

Great catch man, superb lookin plate you got going!! Def had to feel great on the jig rod. Granted, I don't purchase the stamp cuz I don't target them, but these are one type of fish that don't just "happen" upon my line like other surprises. Again, sweet catch dude!!
Would luv to see that smutty sled if you hook it up! Wuz thinking bout making one also but waiting to acquire the parts,lol. Kinda surprised not as many diy gear posted but now only we get the extra credit. Tell me you got them on those poles you rigged together.

I'll post pics once I get it together. I got the skis for free at a ski shop. Just look one up online and ask if they have any skis they're throwing out. The pair they gave me looked brand new lol couldn't believe it. The fish I caught was on a $7 medium action Shakespeare study stik with a firetiger mepps syclops. I had heavy jigs on the ghetto rods bc I thought we'd be fishing much deeper water, so they got no action
