How deep were you fishing? I figure with all the heat they are pretty deep.
I've had em jump out of the hole onto the ice chasing a jig while ice fishing but not like you described as well as my memory serves me.

As I was lifting my jig the fish jumped approximately two inches, out of the water, and had my jig in it's mouth. I didn't hook the fish, but still exciting. I have seen tiger trout be that aggressive, but that is a first for a cutthroat.
