This is what a pond caught walleye on a cold winter's day does for your smile. What was the bait?

Maybe the stick will check in and talk about the jig and etc.

The lure was a vertical ice jig called the Frostee. It was a glow green and white one with a #6 hook, and a 2" minnow hooked through the back. 4lb test mono line. Actually Jeff had not glowed this jig up for a long time, but the water is so clear in Dwight's pond, the walleye saw it, I am guessing, no problem. What a nice fish. Let her go after this pic, and a measuring.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

How many Hamm's did it take to catch her?

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Sweet! A nice walleye and Sasquatch sighting all in one thread!

18 inch LMBs are still biting in the winter. Ice isn't a limitation, it is an enabler.  The stick caught this one. ![[Linked Image from bremerpond.com]](http://bremerpond.com/Gordy%2001%2017%202021%20LMB.jpg) Cody Note - That is pretty good body condition for an under ice northern LMB. How thick is the ice? I had some open water today Jan 19. Relatively warm here in NW Ohio so far this winter.

Ice is eleven inches. Even though we are also having a mild winter, the ice slowly thickens. Sunil, They say with age comes wisdom. I have found it wise to bring a Bloody Mary and three Hamms along. This way, after four or five hours of fishing I can safely pack up, drive home. and stay vertical on the ice!!!

"Bloody Mary and three Hamms"
Sounds like a band I used to see...they were an odd mix of Goth, Vegans, and alcoholics.

Dwight,
I looked back a little bit and didn't see anything. Do you not have to run any aeration in your pond?

I run a 1/2 hp circulator to keep the area around our dock open. it runs a few times each day for 30 minutes each time. No real aeration.
