first off, my new vexilar is absolutely worth every penny. i should've bought it sooner!
caught this perch on a lake we seldom fish, and without my vex i would've gone home fishless.
got all these perch in a small pond where it's surprisingly hard to find fish, let alone catch them consistently.
not much size to most of them, but i was the only one catching fish that day among more than 20 anglers, so i call it a win.
i even had one guy come and ask what the blue thing was.
the look on his face was priceless: "a fish finder? for ICE FISHING?"
i'll update this as i catch more fish.
