Has anyone started ice fishing?

Cool, thanks.

As for when you said

do you think the issue was the line test strength, or the lack of a wire leader? Since you said the line looked chewed-through rather than snapped. Like, would the pike's teeth have had any more trouble cutting through 12lb mono than through 4lb mono? And on the other hand, would 4lb line have much chance of icing a pike even with a wire leader? I'm genuinely asking here, I don't know much about how differently fish act/fight in the winter context.
