Quinte Fishing

Got out on the ice this morning at 6 am and set up in 18.5 feet off water and fishing by 615 started to mark fish right away. The fish were interested but no takers for about 45 mins. I could get them to come off bottom about 3 feet then back down they went. I tried everything for 45 mins and nothing worked so I tied on a glow buckshot with 2 minnows light it up and sent it to the bottom. I started to smash the bait in the mud 3 or 4 times and started to bring it off bottom a few inches and instantly a huge mark started to come up with it I started to reel up and jig hard and he just kept coming I stopped at 10 feet and wiggled it right on his nose and smash he hammered it. The fight wasn't that good till he got to the hole then the reel started to sing and I seen the fish. Took a while to get him back to the hole and his head up but finally got him on the ice 30.5 inches and 16.5 girth around 10.5 lbs my the fish calculator. I'm 90% sure it was a big male as it didn't have a huge belly on it Marked fish all morning ended at 830 with 2 more eaters one about 4 lbs and the other 2 lbs and lost 3 more one being another monster and watched her unbutton at the hole And countless short hits it was an awesome morning other then the winds and cold. Only on other hut that I could see out this am
