Awesome! Your pic shows a few more in the background. Looks like you had a good day. Congrats!
Curious, how thick was the ice and what bait were you using?
My best friends are ice holes.

Yes caught several others between me and another guy. 4 over 9”. Very light jigs and flys and using spring bobbers and lightest tackle possible. Very light bite. I couldn’t hardly even tell I had a bite without the spring bobber.

Fish have had everything possible thrown at them for how long now and are just timid about biting. You could get them to chase bait on flasher all day. They would run up and just sit on it or if they did hit it was so light with normal rod couldn’t even hardly tell.
