Weekend Ice Fishing

[TD]

Hit the ice the last 2 days, fishing Lake Hopatcong. Saturday started ugly but turned out to be a nice day, with the sun coming out in the afternoon. No flags, but I did jig a few perch and sunnies. Today I decided around 9am to shoot up before the rain hit. I had some spikes left over and decided to just jig. I caught a few nice, big perch and one fat sunny. I also caught this whopper. Probably the smallest perch of the ice fishing season. He would have been great bait for a tip up, but I spared him. I'll catch him and eat him next year. TD
