update:
on the third day of ice fishing today.

So far: 15 largemouth, only 3 have been emaciated like we saw last year and what my dad has b een reporting. Not too many above 16 inches, but all had full bellies.

and It looks like tiger muskie won't be an issue, I've gotten 3 baby pike. 15" 13" and 19". My guess is they are 2 years old.

Crappie are, in fact, huge. one even came in at just under 3 lbs, lol.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
