We have done well on all species. My biggest musky came 2 years ago-53.5". my dad got his first 50" last year. I lost a 50 plus last year on a top water(awesome strike and fight though). Lot of fish in the 43-47" range. The one thing ive noticed in the last probly 3-4 years is the size of the northern, lot in the 34-40 inch class with quite a few in the 40" range. Couple years back i got a 45" northern....freakin monster. We havent walleye fished to much in the past couple years but the guys that do walleye fish in our group have done really well especially last year. Hope its another good year especially weather wise. But all that said i could go up there and not catch a fish and still have a good time, fish are just a bonus. But thats good news on the ice situation, im sure you guys that live up there are pumped to get on the water, i know i would be!
