awesome recollection of our trip jack. that was undoubtedly my proudest moment fishing and i know i reveled in my audacity, but i know our friendship remains unerring through all the jokes and trash-talking. i love this blog, it makes me smile and brings fishing back to mind when i go months without it. thanks for the laughs.

I know a guy who was in that boat who caught a bigger fish that day.

This brings back a lot of memories, especially Grandpa’s “cold chicken” fishing trip lunches.

“just as my subconscious was drifting towards the girls in the boat adjacent to ours, it happened.”

It was at this point I thought your post was going to take a very different turn.

Once again, Jack, you make a sport that I care nothing about seem both interesting and poetic. And to that I salute you.

There have been many times when I have gone to a gun store or shooting range and thought maybe I should park in back so no one who knows me sees my car. I know this sounds stupid but I have clients that if they knew I was a gun owner and enjoyed hunting and sport shooting would not treat me the same way.

As a father raising Jack several people told me how terrible I was for teaching Jack to shoot and hunt. I have had many great experiences hunting and wanted him to also have those opportunites but more importantly if he didn’t take up the sport he would learn to respect a gun and know the damage it can do if used inappropriately.

I know more about writing than I do fishing. Your humorous slant on this outdoor activity is entertaining.

Ice fishing sure beats riding a snowmobile for hours in the dark , having your kidneys bounced from one side to the other, the constant smell of exhaust, and the occassional wack on the head by a low tree branch.
