2016 Ice wrap up

[Delawareriver]

Awesome year matt! That tiger from budd is sweet. Congrats on this monsters as well. I only got out for skies twice and you know how the first day went. Last week I had a fish take me into a tree stump before I got to the flag. Talk about a bummer, 13 days on that lake watching other guys catch them finally get one and is tangled up before I got to him. Drilled holes 2ft apart for 50-60 ft at least and used a scoop to grab the line out each hole till I got over top. No luck but with a camera we found the stump and my rig with the ski long gone so at least she wasnt stuck there

That's a bummer Lou. I fish a lake up in CT with stumps and downed trees everywhere. It sucks to wait that long for a flag just to find out you're stumped.

Oh well that's why we do it because it's a challenge. Next year Crack the whip and get me out more so I can break through this funk I am in.

I got an up coming lake that should be prime in a couple years over in PA. Had buddies catch a dozen tigers between 25-35" last Saturday. Once they get a little bigger it's game on

First time I've ever seen that done but at least we found it with the camera haha.

Matt you sure as hell made the best out of this crap short season! Nicely done!

I did what I could, got my first ice musky, biggest ice pike and had a 72 fish day jigging. My musky can fit in your big one's stomach but I'll add to the end of ice collage!

Awesome job on the pike and the muskies, Matt! Simply incredible!
