I believe ya those big ol pike sure can cut up the hands,I know its a mad fight just to get their heads up the icehole.lol.Although the sound of tenseing line creeking against the sides of your ice hole is music to any ice mans ears.On the other hand i dont like the cuts on your hands after. As you crudely wrap up the line trying to take up the slack in mad frenzy you get cut.Its a cut that doesnt heal fast kinda like in between a paper cut and burn.I hate that [
] its almost as bad as fileting a whole bunch of spiney perch in cold water lol. Thats why its allways nice to have a pair of light gloves on hand,the type you can sorta still feel the line in your hand. When i know theres a water wolf lurking under the ice shack i change gloves before hand[

So ya i hear ya i could imagine loseing some gear when you are battleing a big Northern.
