Absolutely. when we caught the first one, a measly 15", it was the first one we caught on friday...on the first tip up we set up, before my buddy was done constructing the shanty, and before i had the third tip-up in the water. My stomach dropped and I thought oh crap....better call Walt, he knows what's going on ;\)

All opinions i had are out the window at this point, except that we still need cover.

Yes, they had been eating well. Not so much the small ones, but the 19" and the 21" both had good weight on them.

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.
