that's not fair, no matter how big of a worm weight I put on, it still won't go through the ice right now

Incredible fish though

Around St. Louis I'm excited at anything over 6lbs, an 8-10 only happens to me about every 3-5 years. I had one go a little over 8 last year so it may be a while, well it is in a small farm pond so as long as nobody takes her out, I'll have a chance everytime I'm there. Some jerk took my other 8+ fish out of another farm pond I fish, and put it on a wall

. Let em go, take pics, so you or someone else can enjoy that fish again.
