First ice cat

Finally caught a catfish through the ice today and he was a doozy! Well over 10#. I can scratch that one of my fishing bucket list.

Sweet, were you after them?
 Reply by: Kev-o      Posted: Feb. 4, 6:05:10 PM     Points: 80312
Was targeting them specifically today yes. Was an area that I’ve seen them caught before. Fish was released.

That would have to get my vote for the coolest thing I've seen in 2023.

great job of blacking out the background . . . .I know a guy that catch's cats through the ice every year and I thought it couldn't be done . . . . .boy was I wrong.

Way to go. The pic looks like it was close to a MA. That's on my bucket listI just need to go out and try it.

Might have been an MA. Don’t know I didn’t measure it. Wanted to get it back in the water after a couple pictures. Was another caught today that was 29” and mine was bigger. Definitely the highlight of my 2023, so far. Gotta blackout the background. Learned my lesson there.

Go to YouTube, ask for ice fishing for catfish Horseshoe chain of lakes Minnesota. TheSauk River which forms the lakes is can’t miss in the some with chicken livers also. A. good book if you can find it is by Dan Gapen titled something like Catfish, the Whiskered Walleye.
