Hit the hard deck about 730 made it back to the split by 745ish. Walking back there on that clear ice just gives you the craziest feeling all the cracks going everywhich way but it was a solid 13in+. Drilled some holes and started markin fish right away. They would come thru pretty fast and all they would give ya was one maybe two taps then gone. Did manage to hook up one rainbow and missed atleast 5 somethings  ??? by about noon decided to head back toward the dam. On the way in i noticed only one person had fished a point i usually do pretty good on. So drilled some more holes and on the second drop "BAM" pole dips good, set the hook and a 15" tiger is on. All in all was a great day to be on the ice  ;D

Ya that tiger was pretty healthy and fought twice as hard as the bow did. Returned both to fight another day
