    hit a few northern mn lakes the past 2 weeks b4 freeze up and boy did it pay off. with the cold weather it seemed we only got a short window every day around sundown for about 30mins but every time it was a big fish giving our baits a look. last week we did a 4 day trip and got a shot at a nice fish each day. lost 2 with 1 being over 55+ that we got right up to the boat on a pounder but the hooks were dull and u really need2 SET those pounders! the 2 fish we ended up with last week were some of the nicer fish of the year…1 was measured at 50.5×28 and my fish was a 46. both were caught on hybrid crank baits. i’ll be out in the metro the rest of the year breaking ice but my “lake x” is all froze up and put away 4 the year! wish me luck in the metro and good fishing to all!

    also on a side note….that monster 50.5 we took a measure with a piece of rope and immediatly put the rope2 a ruler….not totally accurate but shows that this fish was 27+girth. and after we took the measure and started taking pics the fish pooped all over the boat,my buddy nik,my tackle box, and ME. haha all worth it for such a big fish. that fish was up in the middle of the cisco orgy having it’s way with any meal it wanted2 for a long time it looks like. then she released dinner all over. haha

    Nice fish! I picked up 2 similar size ones out on forest l. Last weekend (46, 50) went out today to and froze my [censored] off, had to bust through 200 yards of inch an a half ice and seen absolutely nothin. Then the drive home wasn’t to fun either with the boat trailer in this white crap
