Ice Fishing Monster Bluegills Today!

Today I took Tom and Shawn ice fishing for some big bluegills. They are from up near Henry, Illinois and it was actually Shawn's birthday today! The weather was perfectly calm and sunny and we caught some monster big bluegills today along with some rainbow trout and one crappie.

We got started at 9 am and just barely caught the tail end of a really good bite! The first hour we caught half of our big fish today and spent the next 5 hours just to duplicate what we did the first hour. Kind of confusing so I will try to sum it up for those who don't realize what I am trying to say: we should have went out fishing earlier!

Anyhow we had a great time, drilled alot of holes and just enjoyed being outside on a beautiful winter day. When the wind isn't blowing, and the sun is shining, and there is snow on the ground it is just really nice to be outside. Oh yeah, we also caught some amazing fish and you don't want to miss these pictures!

I am booked up for the rest of this week, which also happens to be the rest of the year! Hopefully we can finish of 2010 with a bang (and a whole bunch more trophy fish!)
