First ice cat

Sweet, were you after them?

Was targeting them specifically today yes. Was an area that I’ve seen them caught before. Fish was released.

Very nice , WOW !

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.

Awesome, congratulations.

Oh I have so many questions. Nice catch for sure!!!! That’s a goal of mine later this season.

That's a good looking cat! Congrats!

That's awesome! I'm slightly jealous!

Awesome, nice work!

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.

Very nice congratulations.

Very impressive.
Congratulations!
If you don’t mind answering, live bait or cut bait?

Thanks all. I was very excited yesterday. Caught on a live 4” shad minnow.

Sweet catch. I bet that was a blast!

Nice one Kev!

Thank you Ciso.

Nice work Kev!!!
