Skillful Angler Winners

Have to laugh at the channel catfish winner through the ice on the Delaware. My guess is this was one of the thousands of channels snagged through the ice this past winter using Rapala jigs to the extent as recently posted here NJ was prompted to change their daily retention limits for channels this year as the number of fish snagged through the ice was unprecedented. It's legal but should have an asterisk next to the winner since I'm not sure snagging any fish does justice to the term "Skillful Angler". If the fish was actually hooked in the mouth, my apologies to the angler. If you look up any video on you tube of that fishery last year you'll see EVERY fish is snagged. To all other winners, congratulations on your accomplishments. Some nice fish landed skillfully!
