I use suffix ice magic 3lb on the tip downs. Works great and no major twist issue because I use the spool of line as the spool on the rod- just attach with small lag screw.

Place pheasant breasts in crockpot. Add one jar of salsa. Leave on high for 4 hours or low for 8. When its done shred with forks and serve on taco shells or with Mexican rice and beans

I have fished out of a 7″ hole for walleyes lots of times from Mille Lacs to Winnie to name a few lakes. It will take a heck of a walleye to get stuck in a 7″ hole, it would have to have a 22″ girth NOT to fit.

Have to be careful getting the head turned in the 7″ compared to bigger holes, but that is really the only concern I see.

Another +1

Also another positive to a 7 inch hole is once the fish is in the hole it has a much harder time turning and heading back down.

This is very true. I fish pool 8 with a 6 inch hand auger- most of the time I prefer the smaller diameter because they can’t turn-unless of course we get caught in some crazy polar vortex and there is 3 ft of ice almost everywhere…
