Thanks guys, I’m hoping that if I take them fishing now, they will take me later in life. Lol. It was an awsome season, and I am blessed to have a wife that tolerates it for a couple months. I’ll now spend the rest of the year a slave to work, domestic chores, yard work, children’s activities/sports, etc. but I’ll be dreaming about Ice up. As far as guys following me around next year, I feel bad for anybody who would have to rely on me to catch fish. Hopefully you come say hi and introduce yourself, maybe
we can work together to get on some fish, or have a beer during the slow times.

1. Eelpout are gross. I wish they wouldn’t wrap around your arm and be all slimy.
2. I thought it went 26 1/8”, but nobody likes a bragger. And actually there was never a really good photo produced of the “alleged” 26” that came out of house 9. 
3. No paint was left at Red doors bridges, almost ripped off the awning though. What’s up with those bridges anyways, they are 9’ wide. And most wheel houses are 8’4 – 8’6”. And as steep as they are, when you climb up them you can’t see over the hood of your pickup to see where your at in the front. With those rails on the side there’s not a lot of room for error.
4. You better ask that good looking wife of yours why there’s another mans beer in the refrigerator. 
5. With as slow as it was we had plenty of bait. Hopefully my wife doesn’t go opening up the garage beer refrigerator freezer. It’s filled with smelly surprises. 
Thanks again friends!
