Giant Wisconsin Pike on a Tip-Up

Sean invited me up to his place to do some bluegill fishing. Being the resilient tip-up fisherman that I am I decided to set some fish traps up anyway, and this was the only pike we caught in two long days of fishing. WORTH IT!!!

What area of the state do you ice fishing? I'm from Appleton but fish alot in the Phelps area. Nice pike!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Most of my time is spent on the eastern side of the state from Sheboygan all the way to the U.P. Hit the subscribe button man! Thanks for stopping by!

[@fishlovme]

Wow that's a lot of salad!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Don't forget the ranch dressing!!

[@GT_Racer347]

Niiiice

[@psauerfish]

wow, u got enough salad for a life time. 40" that had to be right at about 20 pounds. Awesome.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

That's what we all estimated as well!! Thanks for checking it out!!

[@Bluegillandbass]

Hey 👋 i also live in Wisconsin I am more of a regular season fisher do you have any advice on where to look for ice fishing spots I’ve gone a couple times but we kind of randomly drill holes any advice on where to look?

[@darrensnorthernlife1184]

Bluegill and bass Find some structure and fish the edges. A flasher or electronics such as the Helix series fish finders are invaluable for successful ice fishing trips!
