That's quite a TOAD STICKER you got there, Buckhunter...
....
Never had any experience spearing through the ice, in fact I don't believe it's legal here in NY, except possibly for rough species like carp and suckers... I'm sure it would be fun to try, where legal.. I can imagine trying to wrestle a BIG pike through a hole in the ice on a stick....
It would be sort of tough to catch and release, though...
