Lol, the ice popped real good when I got within a few feet of DJ and Brian. I kept my distance after that.
Yes, yes I am. It was worth it though and I'm alive to tell the story. First time I ice fished there in late Jan/early Feb 2014 with Charles, there was probably 4-5" of ice. I was really surprised it was barely 2 yesterday. When I used to bank fish there right after ice out, I hooked one that was pushing 3# and broke off at the bank. There has been talk of them stocking a few between 3-6 lbs., but with it being a put and take fishery, and the amount of people that fish there, I'd imagine most of the trophies get harvested. I'm sure there are still a few hiding in the deep hole.
