Here are a couple of 5lbers that he caught.
Mille Lacs Smallmouth 20.25″ actually it looks a little thin to be a 5er.
This one wasn’t quite 20 inches but it weighed in at 5lbs 1oz.
Mike has also been busy up at GEM camp…

Despite the fact that my area lakes are still just about totally locked up with ice I still caught my first fish of the year from open water.
As you can see below Thompson is catching fish too.

With the warmer weather comes some good fishin’ I met Casey on the lake , he already had a bunch of fish when I got out there and Jack went out too in caseys canoe
The crappies were on the bite, I had good action on the “float and fly” rig, a small float one foot above a 1/80th hair jig. I sweetened it with a couple of red spikes to tempt the occasional big sunfish that would also be in the shallow dark bottomed bays looking for bugs. I caught more fish than I could count. nice crappies and bluegills
Lots of pictures here:

I got out Saturday for one last late ice fling in the metro area and the big slab sunfish came out to play! They were not biting fast and furious, but the size was pretty good! They were biting right under the ice 1 to 2 ft down, you could sight fish without a fishtrap just fine. i got my fish on fatboy jigs tipped with red maggots. Jack got some nice ones on plastics too. he also got a couple of good crappies.
