We had three things on our, ice fishing, bucket list:
1.) Catch a pike through the ice.
2.) Catch a pike with a tip-up.
3.) Pull out a "monster pike" through the ice.
Today we met, all three items. We were fishing in NW Montana on 3" of ice.
One of the small pike. Check #1 off the list.
Checked #2 and #3 off the list.
This "Beast," was 36.5" long.
Woo Hooooo…..way to go Tom!!
He had a hard time, trying to get the pike's head, through a 6" hole.
