Boy I'll tell you that was one awesome trip. I think I had more fun trying not to catch fish. It got to the point were I could lure the burbs up in my hole and then grab them with my bare hands. It was allot harder than it sounds. Out of the dozens of fish I was able to coax up into the hole I only managed to hold onto 3. My little dog thought I was the man. He got his turn to catch a fish to, he actually caught one out of our live well. I called it bobbing for burbots and it was absolutely hilarious. O and ice fishing in shorts and flip flops is even more fun than it looks. I got there on Sun. and didn't put my socks and shoes back on till Thurs. when I had to run into the lodge for more propane. Man I love Alaska.
