Well Sat 24 th was the 1st time ever placing in a tourney , and I won the trout category ,ok there was only 2 trout mine was 17 " brown and the other was a 16 and 5/16 bow I think that was the bows measurement. I fished right next to the place where the tourney was being held ,I had never fish in this particular spot before. Our group had 15 tip-ups out and after 9 hrs. of fishing I was the only one with a flag and nobody around us was getting flags either, I guess I was truly LUCKY as my friends say. Thats ok I will take it. Heres a pic of the Ross' Bait Shop 1st annual Ice Fishing Contest Trout winner oh and his fish!
