My first Ice fish..

[bshaner]

I went ice fishing last saturday with my dad.  Now, I hate the cold and I've sworn up and down that you would never catch me sitting on the ice holding a pole and shivering my butt off.

One thing you just cant do in life is deny quality fishing with your father, no matter what kind of fishing it is.

He loves to fish and happens to live in a cottage on a small lake up in Kalkaska so when I took the family up for the weekend it wasnt any surprise that we ended up ice fishing.

I ended up catching my first ever fish through the ice that was an impressive 4" bluegill!!!!  This proves that anything can feel like a monster when fishing with 2# mono on a rod no longer than my forearm!!!

So, one more thing I can check off my list of things I've done in one lifetime.

Glad you came out of the closet I know it had to be hard to admit
It was not as easy for me but I had to becouse the detroit news cought me in the act and published a giant photo front of page B, I was soo ashamed at first but now that its out I can live my life and not deny who I realy am in the off season and what I enjoy doing behind closed "shanty" doors.

Congratulations on the big catch. I used to think of ice fishing as something I can do part-time to pass winter. However, now I'm a complete addict.
