I don't know if this is considered a catch or not. I was once ice fishing at Porcupine. In about 4-5 feet of water where I could see my flasher spoon as well as my jig below when suddenly a huge shadow came by and my reels drag was just screaming. I pulled in checked the hardware and kicked myself for not having a hook on the big spoon. Then suddenly a 22" rainbow flew about 3 feet in the air right next to me. I am not sure what was down there or what the rainbow was thinking jumping up through an 8" icehole but that was one wierd experience I will never forget.
