    I put my ice castle out on the lake this past wed. Had between 15 and 17 inches of ice. I did get a few walleye’s each evening most of which were 12 inchers. I was able to release a 16 (slot) and a 21″. Had another bigger eye to the hole but lost it. The crappies were there also but alot of lookers. Caught mostly smaller ones with the largest being 11″.

    Pulled the wheelhouse off the lake Saturday morning and decided to see if I could find some crappies at the State Park. I was fishing with my St. Criox UL combo with 4 lb test when I hooked into this pig! I took almost 15 minutes to get it on the ice. Not what I was expecting to see but still one heck of a battle!
