A slow day of ice fishing on a Wisconsin lake quickly heated up when a spearfisherman snagged a 177-pound monster, according to wildlife officials. James Gishkowsky was fishing at Lake Winnebago on Tuesday, Feb. 14, when he speared something, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said in a news release.

Fighting to pull the creature out of the ice-covered lake, Gishkowsky called for help, he told Fox 11. “It’s a rush when you get something like this,” he told the outlet.
