She out fished me again. A 26 inch lake trout. I can't be holding my tongue right or something. Open water 500 yards away. Water temp 34.4 degrees F. Big lakes open up first around here.
A week ago I watched a bust happen. Two 12 inch sheets of ice pressing together so hard is stood a 3 foot section vertical and shattered 100's of feet of ice where the two met. The crack was loud. 1st time I have seen something like this in the 50 years of fishing. 2nd time in five years the lake froze enough to go ice fishing.
