Thanks for extending the contest. Unfortunately I couldn't join flagman and minneman. I hope they got a picture of the 37 inch pike that flagman called to brag about. LOL.
I'm heading out tomorrow and Sunday. Just had a nice storm blow through and dump a little snow on the ground here in my area. But it caused delays at the airport (just 20 minutes south of me) for a couple hours and just 45 minutes from here they got well over 12 inches and some areas are expecting 24 inches.
Pike, walleye, and bass season are over but there's also the "underutilized" fish and pannies waiting. I'll see if I can find more of them 11 inch crappies in the local pond tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I'll catch a little northern. My friends dad hooked into one while we were catching sunnies a week ago. Thing weighed 10 lbs 13 oz. Never did measure it. But there's channel catfish in there waiting for me. And another fishing hole up the road, somebody said they caught 3 dog fish through the ice. So maybe I'll check out his spot and catch them again.
