30" Illinois Walleye Thru Ice 2 Day's Ago
« on: Dec 27, 2008, 04:44 PM »
I thought I would like to share a photo & story about my friend Billy Rich.

Here is a photo of him holding a 30" Walleye he got 2 days ago on a small private pond in northern Illinois.

It was caught on a waxworm & small panfish jig with 4# test & took over 5 minutes to get thru the ice! It was also released after the pictures were taken!

My GUESS is it would have qualified for an Illinois ice fishing record if kept & taken to a certified scale too!



Is it there now?

We need to see that fish  ;D
There is nothing better than the smile on a childs face when they see the fish come up through the hole.

nice eye, here is a NY 30 incher,not my fish a buddy caught it.

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in northern New York
