Since the water ain't frozen-
« on: Sep 17, 2019, 09:04 AM »
14lb. on Topwater.


13lb. on Topwater.


12lb. on a Blade.



7lb. on Topwater.



6lb. on a Grub.



Me and Bro went searching for Tiggers and found some.  Took awhile to put any kind of pattern together but after 8 hrs and a couple fish it finally came together. I got the 12lber in the 1st hr. on a blade. then nothing for 5hrs that day and 4 hrs the 2nd day. Then I got 3 on a grub in like 20 minutes and then nothing for a couple hrs. Went across lake to the "timber" and we put on topwater and started hucking. It was ON for the final 4 hrs of the day till the cold front came thru with some big ass winds/waves.

We only got 8 on top but we had 20 blowups that we didnt get. Them blowups are as much fun as catching I swear. 10 -20 lb beasts shooting fron the water to attack the plug was something I will never forget.

So in 24 hrs of fishing I got 18, Bro got 14. All 6-14 lb. We easily missed/ saw/ lost as many. Last day was pouring rain all day long I was a drowned rat. But when you're catching it aint cold.;D

Sweet, Mike!  Looks like an awesome trip.  Tigers are on my bucket list to catch through the ice.
In state?

well done.  a 3-4lb bass topwater can look like a whale surfacing, seeing those blowups must have gotten the heart racing.

What I like about Slayer is I think he'll be just as excited to catch 12 inch perch that barely move the rod tip when they hit as he was those Tiger muskie  ;D

That's just flat out strong results, especially after all the hours spent learning the pattern. Good desire and dedication. Beautiful fish.

We're born, we live for a while, and then we die.  Sounds like a good reason to go ice fishing.

Nice fish slayer, those tigers are a blast and for sure my favorite to target on top waters. Figuring out the pattern on them can take some time and if its a reservoir with fluctuating water levels like here, it took me years to get them figured for what the water level is the day I was out. Great job  :thumbsup: :woot: :woot:
