Default Big Cold Lake Lake Trout Redemption

Well, my day started off with a bang with a fish on before I was even set up again. Then as I was marking lots of fish and couldn't get a bite I went out to check my I fish pro and my bait was gone due to hole freeze over... I re-baited and was dropping it down when it felt like something picked it up and it just kept going and going never finding bottom I knew a fish had grabbed it. Well, this fish managed to get wrapped up in my line in the shack and get off it was absolutely heartbreaking as it had all the signs of a big fish. I made the decision to stick it out on the spot for the remainder of the day in the slight chance that i. may get a second shot at this fish. Well a few hours before dark I had another flag up and the fight was on! This was a warrior of a fish as it had a treble that it had broken off someone else still hanging out of its mouth....

Check it out for yourself

It looked like you pushed the cut line back down the hole?

I'm guessing that was the line from his other Rod that he was Tangled in he cut the line that he had the fish on
