Northland Fishing Tackle exhibit booth guru Craig Dickmeyer help us understand that being a Pro Staffer is a bit more labor intense than getting free lures and fishing all the time. #ittoutdoors #northlandfishingtackle #iceshow #icefishing #hardwater #walleye #perch 

Joel Nelson is one of those must see guys when he's in the area and he will be at the Fargo Ice Fishing Show this weekend so don't miss out! #ittoutdoors #icefishing #hardwater #walleye #perch

I talked to Brian Bro Brosdahl at the Ice Institute in Sioux Falls and he talked about his favorite hook and the fact the late fall bite does not end at ice up! #ittoutdoors #icefishing #walleye #hardwater #thefallbite

I love this "hot tip" thing. I have been graciously given many hot tips and frankly only one or two ever really worked out for me. I find myself trying find the hot bite on my own. #ittoutdoors #hottip #fishing

Another piebald doe, this one near Mitchell, SD, more BIG bucks! 200, 207, 215 and bigger. Ok ice is getting better and the St. Paul Ice Fishing and Winter Sports Show is this weekend. #ittoutdoors #hardwater #icefishing #bigbucks #monsterbucks

I don't know about you but I sure thought a piebald whitetail doe would be extremely rare, even more rare that an albino...but I was wrong. #ittoutdoors #piebaldwhitetail #whitetail #deer

The Ice Report App is one of those cool tools I have used when scouting lakes in the Upper Midwest for safe ice. Especially early season ice! The more users this app has the better it is for everyone! #ittoutdoors #icefishing #hardwater

I mentioned a rumored 199+ buck a few weeks ago during an itto News Update and it turns out that non-typical 8 x 9 buck measured 200 6/8 green. 21 6/8 spread and a split G2 with a kicker and was aged at about 7 1/2 years old. Beauty buck! It as even featured in Field & Stream. #ittoutdoors #bigbuck #whitetail #deerhunting

As we make ice, we are reminded to be careful but you can not ignore the supernatural strength of ice. #ittoutdoors #icefishing #hardwater
