Hobo… I was most impressed those guys caught that fish, without one swear word! hahahaha

…and that they let that trout go. That trout had to be around 50 years old!
Our lakers are not like most fish, that live a short life.

Lol... about the little nutz! You guys ain't right!

The only time I have ever seen the inside of an ice fishing "shed," was in the movie Grumpy Old Men. I just remember the whole was big enough to pull a SHARK out of! lol.

That "hole" was no bigger than a can of Campbell's soup! Which is more realistic, Hoggie?

Merry Christmas Mitch, and Happy New Year!

Most winters I'll get enough snow to make a beer cooler.
My back man cave door will look like the one in this photo, every winter.
Last winter, the snow covered the whole opening.

Hah! thanks to global warming, I'm in my shorts and t-shirt today too!
Oh ya...It's warm as an arm pit here, aboot mid-turdy's and it's melting the snow, eh.
Tomorrow it's supposed to get back to winter here. This is our last warm spell, before the deep freeze.

trust me… you guy's would LOVE ice fishing!

Hobo, we use 6"- 8"- and 10" ice augers to drill our holes. He was using an 8" in that video, and probably wishes he had a 10" auger.
Lots of guy's who don't fish these BIG fish a lot, or expect to hook onto one, use the 6 or 8 inch auger, and then wish they had a bigger hole.

Drilling 10" holes is W-A-Y harder, and also more dangerous, as then you have a hole big enough to step into, or drop stuff down.
Bad if you have any kids around!… or drunks.
Holes bigger than that, we chop out with a spud, or cut out with a chainsaw, and those are only used with permanent size shanty's that keep the hole heated
to keep it open, day after day, and not have to recut.

There is a lot of method to our madness. Even still the Darwin award committee, really love us.

Can't wait to get back to my vacation cabin on the lake. But right now, we are having a heat wave!

I prefer fishing in shorts when it is 80 or 90 degrees out.

Amen brother! That was my "Rockwell" moment last summer.

…twas aboot 9:30 in the morning, and I was drifting across my favorite smallmouth bass spot, in me boot-boot boo--boat… sorry
where was I?… oh ya… annaways… it was warm with a slight breeze pushing me boot across the hole, and WAMmm- zzssssssssssssssss(sound of line peeling)
aboot turdy yards off me bow, the biggest smallmouth I ever hooked, came up out of the water, doing that aerial waggle to toss the hook.
He went aerial a couple more times, and did several runs as I got 'em close to me boot.
It was a picture perfect moment, and my heart raced. Took me awhile to calm down afterward, it was that fantastic!

picture of me barn in the snow, hope you had a good time with family and friends over Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Not as much snow this winter, but it's been cold. Been doing some ice fishing.
Here is a day limit catch of walleye.

Walleye?? they look like cold dead fish to me.
