Icing BIG whiteys

A fun and tasty fish - white fish!!!

Caught one by accident on Lake Nippising a number of years ago. I was in a rented hut with a buddy, set my pole down on the bench with the line reeled up just to to keep the bait barely submerged under the water.  I went outside for a moment and when I came back in I walked over to the bench, glanced down the hole and saw a fish swim right under and grab my bait and just keep on going. I had to lunge and nearly lost my pole down the hole but grabbed it just in time to pull my one and only whitefish through the ice. Threw it back though. I'm a walleye kind of angler.
