Yesterday, March 3rd, CrappieKiller and I hit Lake Mohawk in search of some of those jumbos and slabs... We did well, no real monsters, but caught some nice crappies, perch, and gills along with quite a few little ones.
During one of the slow stretches, I grabbed my Vexi, got out of the shanty and did a little hole hopping. After a few holes with no marks, I found a hole and got one to chase my tiny jigging rap..Bang, a nice perch. I laid my rod down on the ice and walked over to show Crappie Killer the nice yellow. I put the perch down with the other keepers and returned to the hole. I picked up my rod and noticed that there was some ice buildup on the swim fin of the tiny rap. Doing what any iceman would do, I put the lure in my mouth to melt the ice. Well, as most of you know, the tiny treble on the bottom of those little jigging raps are pretty damn sharp. The treble got hooked on the little piece of skin under my tongue that connects it to the bottom of my mouth. Oh S--t! I unsuccessfully tried to pull it out and nearly got the other two hooks caught in my tongue. Now, picture this...There I am, hands frozen, standing in a near white out with a jigging rap with 5 tiny razor sharp hooks stuck UNDER my tongue. I walk back to the shanty, and in a barely decipherable, pretty much the worst lisp speech impediment voice ever, I say. " Dude, I need help." He zips the door open and looks at me like "Who is this crazy SOB that I decided to go fishing with." I muttered "Just get it out, I don't care what you have to do." The look on his face as he says "Dude, its not good, but I can get it" was priceless. With one sharp pull, he yanked it out and I bled like a stuck pig.(Couldve been from my beverage choices from the night before). Long story short, I was fine, spit blood for an hour or so and caught some more nice fish on that damn rap. I have a nice sore spot under my tongue that I feel every time I talk, drink, etc. Pretty embarrassing story, but, I had to share. **SAFETY ALERT** Under no circumstances, DO NOT put a jigging rapala into your mouth for any reason.

Hey Jon,
Nothing sounds better than pulling some jumbos thru the hole. I am new to the area from the Sandusky area and if you don't mind a tagalong to the roadbed I would love to join you..
Keep in touch,
Tom

Does anyone know where I can get a battery for my Marcum locally around Akron/Canton. Mine wont hold a good charge and I don't want to have to wait for shipping.
Thanks.

Hit Nimi yesterday as well...Fished the C-5 campground cove and it was an awesome day. Caught north of 70 fish, took home 30 beautiful gills, 11 nice crappie, 4 chunky redears, and 5 nice perch for a Christmas eve family fish fry. Found a couple good holes in the weeds and twitched the bait within 6 inches of the bottom. I would like to thank everyone, especially slabslayer for the tips and info. Wish I would've realized icebucketjohn and the other IFO guys were out there, would've been great to meet you guys. I drive a crew cab black Silverado and I fish out of a black Shappel.
Hope it gets cold quick after this brief warmup!!
Thanks Guys!

Today, I took Little TD out for his first ice fishing adventure. We hit Mogadore Res, on the West side of CLR. We caught about 25 gills, two dink crappie, and one baby largemouth. Naturally, it took little man a little bit to get accustomed, but he ended up getting about a half dozen all by himself, including this 7+.

Good job, Jusjign...
Hey slab,
Could you give a bit of info on the location of "C-5" on Nimi. Im sitting here looking at the lake map, and I don't see any thing like that.
Once again, as a new guy to the Akron/Canton area, I truly appreciate all the posts and help from you area vets. Cant wait to punch some holes with you fellas!
