Tough day #2 of tiger fishing

[HybridHunter]

Went 0/2 yesterday and again today. Here's a video of what would have been my buddies first one.

That sucks! What size leader?

To bad but had the thrill of the tug on the other end. I'm jealous.

[NatefishNY]

I know that feeling, at least your fishing

[HybridHunter]

That sucks! What size leader?

I use 20# flouro. But, 95% of the time the fish has the hook in the corner of the mouth where it should be with no issues. This fish had the bait way to long before he set the hook.

I've been thinking about it...   Tis better to have Ice Fished and lost: Than never to have Ice Fished at all.

but 20 lb. Flouro should have got the job done!

[HybridHunter]

You've got that right! Just need to get to those smaller bait flags sooner!

go steel or go home, why play around !

I don't like steel. And I'm not about to go into a leader argument for the hundredth time. What I use works. I've proven it time and time again. This was angler error. Not leader failure.
