Ice Muskie

[saxmatt]

I've hit the ice for muskie around 10 times this season and have landed 3 fish so far. It's been a slow year with lots of waiting around for nothing but it's worth it on days like today when I actually see a fish. I went muskie and pike fishing 5 times in the past week and all I got was 1 pickerel but today I landed my first muskie on a jigging rod. I wasn't actually jigging, I had a small sucker on and hung the rod off my sled. Pretty cool getting one on the rod! The other 2 muskie I caught this year were both on live suckers. Both pure strains were 32" and the tiger was 37".
