Sorry but I can't tell you and please don't try an guess because I'm sure I'll be accused of hot spotting if you did. I'm sure some of you will know the lake by the background but please keep it to yourself, thanks.
Wiperslayer and I arrived a little after 7:30am and soon iced a 12" cutt, well that was it until we went to leave around 2pm and the Slayer gave it one last try with a method we use a Bear lake, jigging with a 3" tube jig, after one hit an miss it was game on. It took a while to pull this big boy off the bottom but this fish sure made our day.

I was almost afraid to click on this one with the title.
Whew - glad it's about a fish!
And a nice one! That pups got some girth! Did you get a measure or weight? Love them spots.
That musta been a good fight if you were using light ice-tackle.
Had one of those right up to the hole, and then it was gone.... Lavaman and me are going on the prowl this morning. Be sure to let you know if we get as lucky as you did.
Thanks for sharing. Curious - what color jig? Tipped?

I think it was a pearl or salt n pepper tube, tipped with a piece of crawler.
