porky

[monstermasher]

A couple of my friends headed up to porky first thing this morning. I had some things to do so I didn't meet up with them until about 1230. I very rarely have good luck ice fishing in the afternoon so I didn't expect much. The ice looked a little scary but I wondered out to my buddies, I didn't miss much they had only caught 3 small kokes all morning. I sat down for about an hour without getting a bite or seeing many on the finder. Then a couple schools came in and I caught a long skinny koke and a dink koke, I dropped back in and hooked up thinking I had a nice koke, then shortly I knew it wasn't a koke. It made a run and snagged my other line in the water, soon my other pole had flown off my bucket and was halfway down the ice hole, I ran over fighting the fish in one hand and grabbed the other pole and attempted to open the bail with one hand so I could real my fish in. I loosened the bail and set that pole down and ran back to the other hole to finish bringing my fish in. I had to pull it up the hole tail first because the other line was wrapped around the fish this made it quite a challenge, but it was quite the deal landing the chubby hybrid. I unhooked my jig and got the line off of her and threw her back. I stayed for about another hour and went home. It was nice to use my utah fishing license for a change, I have been hitting idaho pretty hard so it was a nice change up.
