Landing fish through ice

[Kent]

[quote kj]If it is a fish that needs to be released, I drag it onto the ice by backing away from the hole once the head is up thru the ice.

Kevin, I have had great success using your method at Strawberry this year on early ice. It has worked inside or outside of my shelter. I have also had some success with using the modified Harbor Freight grippers that TubeDude has used. Not sure how well dragging them on the ice will work when the ice gets thicker and the water level is not as close to the surface of the ice.
