I love that line. Still laughin. I have always thought the same thing. But I would go in a heart beat if the chance presented itself. Good lookin catch.

and i'm still going out there.

took a metal health afternoon yesterday and spent it on the ice. i lost a rainbow that was over 5 pounds easy. about 7 inches from back to belly. it did the roundy roundy at the hole and that cut my line. then i had one i couldn't even turn that broke off at the braided line. it was the nicest day we've had weather wise in a long long time. topped out about 43 degrees and for a change no wind.

saw a 15 incher in the hole this afternoon so i didn't bother to try to catch it. raw cold and windy out there.

still don't know why i go but its not much different than deer hunting here in nh. a whole lot of puttin in the time with no guaranty.

don't you know it. loosing ice at a rate of ten feet a day on new found. the snow should slow it down if it gets cold again. the ice is good where i fish and i'm fishing in about 2 feet of water.
