First day on the ice this year

[JR]

My first day on the ice this year, Fished Conesus lake with a buddy and it was a cold one but a good one started fishing at 8:30 am till 5:00 pm caught one small pike right of the bat in the first half hour that we released then it was nothing but gills until 3:00 when I hooked into a nice 10 lb pike that i did keep along with 25 nice size gills.

Buddy with the first one

Me with the 10 lb

if i thought of it sooner i could have taken a great pic of it looking straight into the camera for about 1 1/2 minutes before starting to swim away it was really neat seeing it come right up to the lens like it was thinking about eating it
