Fish Tales Told Here

Tonight after a day out on the ice, Aaron yarned his tale about the BIG one that didn't get away this morning.

While Dad stepped out of the dark house to gab with a friend, Aaron saw this fish's head appear in the far corner of the ice hole, took aim, threw the spear at an angle and pulled out the lunker that – in this photo – looks comparable to his Great Grandpa Roy's northern pike hanging on our wall.

"My legs were shaking when (out on the lake) Dad took a photo with his cellphone," Aaron said explaining that excitement, not the cold, caused his muscle spasms.

Our 12-year-old bass master is enjoying a new twist to his favorite sport of fishing with THIS – his first speared fish.

That is so exciting! My legs would be shaking, too, if I had captured such a fine fish. Congratulations to Aaron! Will it be dinner or a trophy? :-)
