Fishing

Muskie through the ICE

Uploaded on January 06, 2009

The first three minutes of this video is a guy battling something through the ice.

Skip that if you don't have time to the last 30 seconds where a guy reaches his hand in hole and pulls out a decent sized muskie by its gills through the ice. Ice fisherman are nuts. But this video's amazing.

Not unheard of. There is a local lake here in northern Utah that heavily stocked with perch, crappie and tiger muskie. Ice fisherman often report hooking into a perch or crappie, reeling, the having something big hit the line and strip it away. Every once in a while the muskie will hang on and get reeled up to the hole, but they are far too big to get through the hole (plus, all muskie at the lake are now illegal to posses).

happened to a friend of mine once, he was fishing for 'gills in about 10 feet of water and something hit the gill he just hooked and took off, never got it through the hole, lost it as he couldn't fit the fish in the hole.

Up in Minnesota people get big dark houses and put them over a 4' by 4' hole in the ice. They decoy in Pike and Muskie with large wooden dummy minnows. When they get a fish up to the surfact they stab them with ice fishing spears, which kind of look like tridents. I have seen some HUGE pike taken that way.
