I'll second the Niagara River.  I went on a trip in January years ago in the lower Niagara where we drifted by boat and jigged the bottom for monster lakers and steelhead.

I had a good Laker week. Iced a 32 and a 34 inch this week.

Another accidental laker, this beat my previous best from last month. Miracle I was able to land the 30 incher through a 6 inch perch hole in 20 inches of ice.

Beautiful fish Phil!! On light tackle that must have been a really fun fight. Congrats on working that drag well and tiring it out enough that it went up the 6" hole, you definitely earned that catch

Yes, definitely one of the best fights I've ever had on a jigging rod. 6 lb flouro, drag is set to maybe 1 lb. Constant pressure and lot's of patience, despite the adrenaline rush while contemplating how it's head was going to make it up the hole.
