limeyangler Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 Hi all, Went fishing for an hour in front of the house tonight and the weirdest thing happened. I was slowly lifting and lowering my transducer down the side of the hole to establish ice thickness, kind of like a jigging motion when something grabbed hold of it and started to swim off!! The pull lasted only a matter of seconds, but it was definitely a fish….CRAZY! Got the transducer back, no obvious teeth marks that I could notice, but that certainly has never happened to me before. Anyone else ever have this happen?
sneak_e_pete Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I've had a pike smash my trolling motor when I was pulling it up. Scared the crap outta me!
manitoubass2 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 Wow thats not something your hear everyday
grizzlybri Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 a friend of mine showed me a picture one of his friends had on facebook of a musky "kissing" their fish tv camera

Rizzo Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I've had a muskrat come up a hole before....but if what you are saying is true I may still catch a fish on topwater while ice-fishing
Canuck2fan Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I used to go salmon fishing on a Huron trib at around 3AM to get a good spot for first light. I would chuck glow spoons for a bit. When I got sick of casting I would switch rods and float fish with a thrill float with an LED light in it. So after about an hour of chucking spoons and no action I put on a roe bag and started drifting. Second cast something smashed the hell out of the float and it disappeared for about 10 seconds. I have caught lots of fish on it and you can always see the light when it has been pulled under the water. NOT that night LOL. I didn't have another hit until about 10 minutes after daylight either? The float was all scraped up no real teeth marks though.
Smokercrafty Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Wow, all these stories are new to me! Cool read, never heard of any of this happeninp!
dave524 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 On occasion I've had something hit a rigger hard enough the thing shuddered loudly but the line was still attached to the release, always figured a King hit the cannonball.
