Falcon steals fish...first outing

[ftwwalleye]

Howdy,
Got out yesterday for first time this season. My girlfriend has been wanting to try ice fishing. I thought for sure it would be a bust and would hate it. Boy was I wrong. I may have lost the use of my vexilar on outings cuz she loved it. Good thing I had ordered an ice package for my striker unit for my boat.
First time and she landed a few gills, few bass, and decent perch. We doubled up a few times and below is a decent perch and bass we landed in holes next to each other.
The ice singing at sunrise kinda spooked her a bit but after a bit she thought it was cool. It was nice to hang outside with a partner.
Before we left we saw a falcon swoop down and steal someones fish down from us..he struggled to fly to trees by us with his catch. All in all it was a fun first outing and a new hardwater enthusiast was created. Tight lines folks and hope to see you on the ice.

Yep Scum is correct :it’s over!!
Took my wife 25 years ago & I had to buy another fish finder for my self , of course the upgraded Lx-7 that she uses when she goes & I suffer with the lx-5 . Nice perch by the way !

That’s awesome!  My wife went with me for the first time last year. Best memories made are together! 
Congrats and tight lines!

Sunday was a great day for being out on the ice. Took my 11yr old grandson for his first time on ice. He loved it but i think he will expect that kind of fishing every time now. Being 11 he really liked using my vex and he really got the hang of it quick. Right up the younger generations alley. Nice fish and i say congratulations for getting another person into the act. We need more of it.

Used to have a heron steal fish on Dallas Lake. I tossed him a big bass one day. Thought I killed him.

Nice looking fish you guys got there.  Glad someone else made some new memories. My wife has been going ice fishing with before we got married and still goes with me after 51 yrs.  She's just one of the guys.  Still won't use the vex or a spring bobber but she does have her own shanty.

Haha - I have fallen victim to a heron and seen a cat run off with someone else's fish!  Never seen a falcon do that, but sounds pretty cool!
