BFOTD! 26" Northern Pike
20160113 - Had a great time out on the ice despite poor weather… frigid conditions
at 12 degs with blowing at times blizzard conditions.
Got to punch a few dozen holes. The new power auger is an awesome tool. Event though the ice was only 6 inches in depth it was a pleasure producing a number of holes to fish. The increased diameter of 8” was also a blessing to fish out of.
We basically went out despite the poor fishing forecast and reports obtained from Michigan sportsman forums... couldn't find anyone posting any success other than dink perch low in numbers
Earl ended with the best fish of the day caught on UL pan-fish rod with 2# test…. How he was able to land this fish on that tiny jig was a small miracle in itself. we usually end up catch a few bruiser on the tiny rigs... we expect it.
Caught quite a few mixed size YP and one lone B’Gill. More hits were obtained on the Pink Waxie than live mousies.
We ended up keeping the pike for the table as well as a few med YP’s. the northern had 3 small fish in its gullet under 4” 2 shiners and a yellow perch

thanks guys...
Earl ended up tagging the best fish of the day this chunky Northern Pike... had 3 fish in gullet.... i small perch and two shiners under 4"... I ended up with just one B'Gill and several med- YP.
not a bad first outing considering the poor fishing reports spread over the local area.
we ended up drilling about 30 holes to find fish in 5-6 inches of ice
