Since the thermometer went above -35 for a whole day went out to the cabin to fish (first time in 08-brutal),nailed a pike 2 minutes in this am and thought that was ok, but then finaly after 2 years of trying caught a 26.5" laker. Those fussy buggers have frustrated me alot, I was so excited I brought him through the hole tail first!!! pics to follow once downloaded..The storm really slowed the bite down though.
