Went out to bear today with my mom and it happened. Drilled ewenty holes shallow to deep with my new auger i bought myself for christmas (8" eskimo cause i dont wanna spend the extra hundred) and today it finally happened. Set my tipups in three feet of water with ten in hearing and then set about hopping around the other hole with the rods.We each nailed a small jack right off the bat, then i got into a few perch out deeper then it happened. One of the tipups flew so i hollered at mom to go get it as she hadnt got a bite since her first fish. She fought it well and it was taking a while with a bunch of runsi
and solid weight behind it i had a pretty good feeling it was a big girl. Only
problem is get her head to the hole an thats as far as she is coming.I made the hundred yard dash to where my auger is and get her fired up so i can widen the hole up warning my mom to try and keep the line away from the sharp end of things. Made it just through the ice and the big girl decides she has life left in her and drags the line right into the blades. Off she goes to fight another day. We both had a mini church service then a good laugh.You can bet your butt ill be back out there tomorrow
Ps had no idea mom could swear like a sailor on shore leave
kicking my own butt
