Yeah a nap was needed.....and Bella thought she would take one with me....
Day was stellar....until I lost the fish of my life at the hole...tried twice to get the head into an 8" hole....not happening....
Then the bait and hook cam spitting out at me.....Some of you may have heard what you thought was a Squatch....Nope...
That was my screams of anguish....Then a friend with us...found an old hole...All of the rain last week opened them up...and they didn't freeze well..
Think he at best just hyper extended the knee....but may be a lot worse....he had to be rescued by EMS....helped with that whole process...
Thankfully, Brad had his radio with him to call for help....He is also a EMT....
Did catch some unbelievable large and small mouth bass....one large mouth over 6lbs.....Thinking a trip might be in order Raquette!!!
We landed two small Tigers....one 20" and another at 27".....but an interesting day was had by all.... 8) 8)

Take the good with the bad, right buddy?

Good evening here.  Friends invited us over for dinner.  We were already gonna do chicken tacos, so we all just got a bit more stuff so we had enough for everyone.  Cracked open the Horseheads Xmas beer from my mom, and had a great meal with old friends.  Kids had a nice time playing together.  Lost a knee hockey game 8-7 to a nine year old, and Buffalo picked up a come from behind overtime win in Ottawa.   To cap it off, I think I just got eights hours of sleep for the first time in weeks.   8)

Looks like Vandy just pulled off the upset. Not really surprised we have played them three times this year and won 2 out of 3. Oh well now that we got that lose out of the way we can win the National Championship. ;D ;D

Yes they do....dragging a sled a half mile through slush....running to flags...rescuing friends....Well and just plain being old.... :P
 
Fire call last night at 11:30...young guys blew up  camper trailer with exploding targets....guess you can't use them in conjunction with gasoline... ::) ::)
 
The fish I lost was a tiger musky.....I've caught some big fish in my life....but this thing was huge!! Biggest fish I've ever seen at the hole through the ice or on the soft water.....Heard guys caught and released one over 44" a couple days before....think this one would have pushed 50....really didn't think it would fit through an 8" hole.... :o :o :o

Bummer you lost the tiger Scott. Must have been a great thrill just to see it though. We tried to fish saratoga this afternoon. Boat didn't leak and the four stroke ran pretty good. But the only ice on the lake was blocking us from getting to where I think the fish are.  We got through a narrow patch of ice bit the second one was just to big. Marked some fish on the sonar but never caught one. Wasn't an easy feeling pushing chunks of ice with the little aluminium boat.
