You are a gluten for punishment man. I just got chills looking.

Darn nice fish, enjoy.
 
those are some might fine looking fish. Cant wait to see them smoked.
 
Nice looking fish Erain! I had hoped to get out this winter, but hasn't happened. I once had whitefish smoked with oak. Some of the best smoked fish I ever had.
 
Yanno Erain, Someday before we both get too old I would love to head over that way for some Ice fishing with you. My grandad grew up there in minnysoda, and always told me about his ice fishing adventures over there. He missed that area. But I was fortunate enough to have Iced Fished with him here. Them trout look beatifull.
 
Looks like you had fun, Erain. I haven't been ice fishing in years. Probably won't go either. It has to be so dam cold to go ice fishing!

Awesome catch. I just got back myself from Upper Red Lake Saturday. Walleye fishing was great. Had some last nite for dinner. Where did you go? I would love to get some fresh lake trout.
 
When we go ice fishing here in Arizona, we sure don't catch such nice fish. We usually pull out one of our favorite beverages instead. I guess they are much nicer to smoke though. What a great catch! I know when I was going to school in North Dakota all the locals would get excited when the weather was really cold because "it was making ice". brrrrrr.
