Been getting out a bit and quite a few meals in the freezer. Here is my best northern and walleye with obligatory GuNR positioning. Now to decide if I should chase elk or fish this weekend. Probably enough red meat in the freezer, so most likely be standing on 2' of ice with a beer in hand this weekend.

Oh the tough decisions we have to make living here. I guess somebody has to do it. Nice fish, both of them.

Man, those look nice. I've never cut a hole in ice. Maybe because I don't like winter.

It takes a special kind of person. But when the fishing is good and the weather decent, ice fishing can be a ton of fun.

I've never been ice fishing, but it's definitely on my bucket list. Those are amazing fish!! Have you ever tried pickling the pike?

Very nice! Looks like you have that spot all to yourself. Ice gets crowded around here.
