My dad and some friends were at a fly in lake in the NWT some 20 yrs ago, ice was still on a quarter of the lake as it was a late ice out year. Fishing for lakers 100 yrds out from the ice edge and dad hooked a good one. Well the fish went straight for the ice. They were using big rods and good strong line with leaders but he couldnt slow down the fish. He said watching his line hit the ice edge and go under was tough cause he knew it was just a matter of time before the line broke, it did and they never seen the fish.
