Great video. You don’t need to give away the lake, but I’m pretty sure I know what lake you went to. How long of a track is it, if you don’t mind sharing?

There are two ways to get to this lake and they are both around 2 miles from an entry point...That should be enough to figure it out

Always thought it was the spear and not the size of the hole that mattered? Wait that sounds kind of filthy. Apologies.

The restriction involves angling *while* also spearing. There was no spearing involved, therefor no violation.
The relevant text from the Statutes of Minnesota is:
§Subd. 3.Restrictions while spearing from dark house. A person may not take fish by angling or the use of tip-ups while spearing fish in a dark house, except that a person may take fish by angling if only one angling line is in use and any fish caught by angling is immediately released to the water or placed on the ice.
"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

No restriction on the size of the hole. When sight fishing for rainbows, I'll always drill two interconnected holes to make a figure-8-like shape to get a larger 'window.' After seeing the cool action taking place below for just that fleeting moment before the strike, I'm considering drilling 4 connected holes to make a larger, square-ish window without the need for an ice saw.
Just remember to mark it with some brush when you leave the spot.
