A couple friends and I hit a small lake in northeastern Pennsylvania last weekend and ended up catching the nicest fish we've pulled through the ice in a long time. All these beauties were caught on tip-ups running large shiners, and all were released.
Pigpen with a hawg. According to an old, handheld scale, the fish was around 5 pounds.
Icepal with a toothy critter.
Pigpen gets lucky yet again!
Shifty got one, and it wasn't on a Banjo Minnow!
I was too busy taking pictures to catch the big ones.
