My dad went fishing last weekend. Here was his catch for 3 hours. And yes, He did throw quite some bit back.
thats a nice jack. It looks like you would need to cut the hole bigger to get his belly through the ice.
It was a nice, [How did my dad put it???] accident. He does not fish for them on purpose. We use an 8" hole. I have never needed anything more than 4. lol. No, really, I have never caught anything that big while ice fishing. I just don't go that often.
What a pig. I've heard a lot of northerns being really fat this yr. Nice catch, congrats to your dad.
