There’s nothing more humbling than losing the biggest fish of your trip, especially when it’s your only real shot of the day.
We headed to Lake Cobbosseecontee for a two-day ice fishing mission chasing winter largemouth. Day one gave us a brutal lesson. A true giant came unbuttoned at the hole, and just like that… it was over.
Cold air. Long ride home. No redemption...yet.
But quitting wasn’t on the table.
We went back the next morning with unfinished business. Same lake. Same grind. Different outcome. This time we stayed calm, worked the fish clean, and slid an 18-inch 3-pound largemouth through the ice.
Redemption earned.
This trip is about more than one fish. It’s about sticking it out when the odds aren’t in your favor.

Sometimes the best fish of the trip comes the day after you lose the biggest one.
See you on the ice!
