I hear ya. Many times I've caught some first thing in the morning off my favorite pier (by first thing I mean just before or just as the sun is coming up) and when I get home shortly after 5pm and go to clean whatever I managed that day, the first one I caught always seems to be the most energetic of the bunch. It should be dead, but it ain't. It's frightening.

some have said that about me sittin on my favorite pier when I'm catchin and they ain't.
Looks like a big perch on the end of that rod sitting on the bottom. LOL
You weren’t able to hook it with a jig or anything??
It got into a current and we were fishing in about 25/27 feet so we tried but there was no way to get a hook over there. We even tail hooked a perch we caught and sent him back down hoping he would swim near it but he refused to cooperate with us. I rigged up a 3point hook with no results. Unless I opened up above it with a saw there was no way to get at it cause the perch pulled it away from us when he took it. As you can clearly see in the picture.
Utube LIED to me about the best way to clean the perch. It took me over 3 hours to clean them and remove the spine. I like fishing for them but after wasting money on a skinzit which SUCKED. Then I spent time watching utube videos. I can clean a walleye in my sleep but these perch are PURE WITCHCRAFT
I could not tell where you were from that under water photo. Just assumed it was at the bottom underneath the hole
I also did not know you were over 27 feet of water.
At least yah tried hahaha sucks losing a rod like that.
At least you didn’t drop your cell phone
Dropping a cell phone @Derkd9 would definitely not be a good thing!
I know someone that has lost a cell phone 
,but not down an ice fishing hole,but by holding a pike for a selfie 
shoot while fishing out of a kayak!! 
lol 
At least @rcfire77 fishing pole likely would not be as expensive as a cell phone! But either way,it sucks to loose an ice fishing rod!!

My friend dropped his cell at Stanley launch 2 years ago . The water never cleared there to find it lol
Oh man that sucks! Be hard to walk away from
I dropped mine down the hole almost 2 years ago and watched the light slowly die over the next 5 hours while my jackarsed buddies beside me kept calling it and leaving messages! The phone I have now is the replacement I purchased in the Alliston bell store on the way home.
