Birthday Bash
« on: Mar 01, 2008, 10:31 PM »
Hit my go to lake at 8:00 ,my little fishing buddy is not so little,he turned 23 today,I guess the fishing gods where smiling on him.He's turning into a great ice fisherman.Big party on the ice,lots of good food and a few cold ones,We fish out of the shanty,and fished 4 or 5 feet apart for the most part,same Gill pill on both rods,he's pounded them and I'm watching and smiling,remembering the first gill he pull through the ice when he was 5,time sure fly's.Well to make a long story short he spanked the old man,he must have caught at least 30 crappie and 15 giant bulls over 9 inches and 3 bass,Captain ended up with 20 some keepers mostly big bulls,we had a great day. We shared our catch with a couple of bud's that where not doing as well. I'll be back on the lake in the morning with my little buddy,time sure fly's.

How awesome is that started around 5 and then togther at 23 it reminds me of my dad.  My dad does not ice fish anymore he originally introduced me to this sport but now he is too much into nascar and other things.  I have yet to get him out on the ice.  We still do get out hunting occasionally and open water fishing but He just does not goas much as he use to.  Gla dto see you are still fishing with your sone.  Wish him ahappy B-day and keep the bond going.

My dad and I haven't spent near enough time together the last few years while I've been away at college then grad school.  But this season I moved back to my home town, got a real job, a wife, and my dad and I go fishing together nearly every weekend. 

An Ice Fisherman is a man who spends cold days sitting on the ice doing nothing because his wife won't let him do it at home.
