Any odd ice fishing catches?

Anyone have an interesting ice fishing story to share?

A few years ago I was checking the water depth at a hole I had just drilled. Attached the fluorescent orange lead sounder to the hook and sent it to the bottom. Set my trap down and began to pull the sounder back up. It seemed really heavy and started to move. Like any good fisherman, I tugged on the line and up came a bass about 13". Guess it liked the taste of lead and paint.
Going ice fishing for the last time on sunday. Ice is getting soft.

I have never caught a bass through the ice, and our lake is loaded with them.

Not really rare or anything but I caught about fifty mudpuppies this winter through the ice. Oh yeah my buddy caught a decent pike on a wax worm which I found hard to believe. First timme I ever saw a pike caught on a wax worm.
