Outfished on Valentine's Day

[Skunk City]

Was lucky enough to get out on White Lake this Saturday with my Valentine (her idea!!!) for a few hours. Being as it was our first time ice fishing WL and only our second time there, we had to make lots of holes to find some fish. 5 tip-ups spread out in multiple spots didn't even get a sniff, while the Jigging Queen was getting it done. She landed 2 Pickerel and lost a 3rd. First one was a FAT 25 1/4" female that fought very nicely on her light action jigging rod and 4lb test, biggest Pickerel I've seen landed in person this year. Despite the snow and temperature in the teens, she handled it like a seasoned ice fisherwoman, even picking out spots and dropoffs from what she remembered when kayaking there over the summer. I've got to say, I am VERY lucky!!! A few pictures...
