2 things

1. i owned one of those premiere ice rods and hooked into a big trout and the lack of butt end nearly broke my arm after fighting it through multiple runs. I said "never again" and literally bought a new laketrout ice rod on the drive home.

2. Trout are the worst for deciding to but their heads against the ice. Its almost like they know they can knock the lure out of their face. I keep my drag stupidly loose when i get them up top. The buggers can be a handful to land. Heck last weekend I had one roll itself up in my line to the point that I could no longer land it head up, so i tail grabbed the thing to bring it up backwards, once i got it up on the ice I began to try unwind the frigging knot it had tied itself into and sure enough the thing went nuts and somehow managed to find the hole and take off again before it was unhooked. I got two fights out of one fish 😄

I almost expect lake trout to get off, they are Houdini fish. I actually love those St.Croix rods, good all round rod, the reels suck but the drag works ok in a warm shack. I lost another one right of the beginning of my little sesh and lost two whitefish too, did not land a single fish in 4 hours, also had a bunch of lookers and chasers but failed to entice them to bite, quite a busy morning.

Tough luck Simon. Not sure my video would SFW if that happened to me.

Ya, that does indeed suck Simon!
