Crane Creek Monster

[Madd Matt]

We ARE happy for you Matt. So how deep was the water 22'=25'? Swedish pimple? Little cleo? Huh, huh? Really tho, NICE fish.

This isn't "my" fish... Just for the record, just a buddy that I was with ( 3 of us).
He was using an alligator (or crockodile) something... It was green... Really that's all I recall. But the most fish were caught on blue pimple #6, and another blue spoon thingy. I know... Great details. You guys will have to bear with me. This was my first venture on the ice. I have a 30' Sportcraft and can tell you all the the colors and names of Reef Runners and Michigan Stingers, I can talk about different perch rigs from Skipper 9 rigs to crappie rigs...

I do know it was in 25 FOW

I just got introduced to ice yesterday ( @ -18 degrees) and I'm learning the lures and equipment.

Thanks Matt, water depth was probably most important anyway. I'm new to this stuff also. I'm out of bass haven and can tell you all that other stuff also, but am getting hip to ice jigs. swedish pimples seem to be the go to jig. Thanks again, Geary

Nice clean fish to mount....None of those goiters that they sometimes get.

very nice fish. That truly is a monster. How thick was the ice up there? How was the journey out? Deep snow or pretty easy travels? I tried out of Catawba last weekend with no luck and am planning to head out of Crane sunday to try and catch my first hard water walleye. I don't even care if its a throw back, I just want to bring one up through the hole.
