Ice Fishing Rod CHALLENGE: Catching Bass, Catfish, and a Gar

The goal for this challenge was to catch a catfish with an ice fishing rod spooled with 4 lb monofilament line. Mission accomplished! The day turned out quite well. While I only caught one catfish, I did however catch a variety of fish, including the white bass, a largemouth bass, a couple of smallmouth bass, and the surprising gar at the end of the day.
