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.......
That is the one thing that does stink about spearing, not catch and release. This does stink because we have a few fisheries that could easily produce 40" and 20# Northerns (and do), but spearing is a tough sport to pass on. Specially since it is my first year and I don't want to choke when Mr. Big comes along.
