[Kevin Lee]

My brother Kenneth and I didn't get on the ice until almost 7:00 pm. The fish were there as soon as we got set up. Infact, he hollored on the walkie-talkie that he had his first keeper already and I didn't even have my lines in the water yet! He really ticks me off sometimes! We were both in about 41-42 feet of water. I don't know how many he released. I ended up with 8 throwbacks, 2 eaters, and lost two more keepers. He caught one more eater and had 3 more keepers come un-hooked. So he should have had his limit. He always teases me when I have fish come un-hooked. Now the shoe is on the other foot!!! The fish were really aggressive tonight. Not much hesitation at all. I'm sure that's why I didn't get good hook-sets in my last two fish. The darn things left vapor trails on the graph and kind of caught me by surprise. Oh well, we had almost non-stop action for a good hour and ended up with 4 fish for the pan. Nothing wrong with that. I think we caught fish on every color Rap and Ice-Darter we tried tonight. Two days to go...

Where you fishing the upper or lower bay Kevin? If you really feel giving, maybe you might even purge your location. Appreciate the information.
