Nice job on the eyes and pike!

Great fish! Any details? Tip ups/jigging? Lures/live bait? Looks like all after dusk?

First I head about durant being fished this year was on 12-2 (I live an hour and a half away so i wouldn’t be surprised if guys were on it in November and I didn’t hear about it)

But we’re not going to name it in the video on 12-9 and complain when folks want to know where there’s ice to fish


Gotta love good old Ice shanty

Well said trapp , play hard and play safe , now trapp can’t you remember those days of tip toeing across the ice 😉 well anyway nice fish

[trapper2000]

mmmmmm  yup  i remember being stupid  a few  times  and i can  testify a  cold water swim is  not the  most pleasant experience .... won't be  long  now  and it  will  be all good

Well I can remember fishing  last ice and use my foot to make a hole lol now I must admit in those days my soup can (brain) was only half full lol

DEC checked my trap and asked if I found any thin spots...he was watching me spud back to shore...that piece of metal is my saviour!

Haha the season hasn’t even began yet but this is clearly a sign of how it’s going to be.

I couldn't have said it better myself. People just gotta brag and then pay the price. LOL

Just for laughs... does anyone else think the spot that meme was taken in is just below the staircase in Pulaski 

[grubberfishhunter]

i immediately thought it was salmon river myself.

Bird if it isn’t , it sure has the look,  now when I go to town I’ll have to take a better look , 👀

No idea searched crowded ice fishing memes, this came up. The internet is loaded with some funny ones...these sites are bitter sweet. It’s all great info till your honey hole gets blown up on here, and it’s usually an innocent mistake. But once it’s out you can’t get it back...plenty of ice out there now. Be safe!!!

[lowaccord66]

For the record....in the case the interent did nothing.  I went up day after the post but had already known how things were from someone you know bird21.  Thankfully the internet only interested 4 others it seems...
