O.T. Pays Off With First Salmon
« on: Jan 10, 2011, 04:17 PM »
After a slow morning of nothing but small pickerel the family came out to give it a try. Fished for a few hours & they decided to pack it in. Helped them pack up & decided to stay for the late bite. To my suprise it actually worked! The flag popped up, went to set the hook & could tell I had something bigger than the 12" pickerel that had been biting. The fish ran twice as soon as it saw the hole. With the light leader material I didn't want to horse it in too quickly even though I could tell it was something good. Third time was a charm, saw it's head coming up, reached in & popped it up.
First Salmon Ever  ;D

It's addictive huh?
Once you catch a salmon, it will put you on the ice countless hours just to see the spool burn again.
good job :tipup:
No, I mean I REALLY REALLY LOVE TO FISH!!!

It is addictive, once ice fishing gets into your blood.

Had the fish for supper last night, really good.

Thanks for the comment on the door pulls.
The right cabinet hardware was hard to find, but whenever in doubt check Cabelas.
