First fish through the ice in 3 years

Visited an old private lake I used to live on since I got permission last weekend from a neighbor while I was in the area. This lake has always help a stupid healthy bluegill population for hardly being 10 acres surface area and 50 feet deep.

Tons of stunted bass and hammer handle pike… but these gills maintain an incredible average size and there are a few monster pike lurking around if you have tip ups. 46” in 2018 is the largest I’ve seen so far.
