Here's a picture of the only mess of fish I've kept so far this Ice season. All were caught in 3 hours of fishing with the smallest crappie being 10 1/2" and largest 13 1/2". I've been hitting the ice all over the place in E. Ia. but these fish came of back waters of the C.R.. I'll also add a pic. of a 19" smallie I got through the ice.
