It's too soon to play golf, but the weather is actually above 32. What can you do outside on the last day of February? You guessed it, some Hollydale style ice fishing. Of course, I am
not a caveman, so we brought a tent, a heater, and TV. There was even great Mobile Web reception out in the middle of the lake, so I had internet. This is the kind of sporting event I can really get into!Even though I am not a pro angler by any means, I landed this big hog ( right ) and brought him in to have mounted. Yeah, I always wanted a trophy fish for the office. I am going to hang it over my golf trophies.
In a few weeks, it will be unsafe to drive cars out on the lake, so this will most
certainly be my first and last ice fishing excursion for the year. I think in 2011 a giant sized fish house might be in the wings ... as long as there is a running network inside for Twitter

That's a really small fish Speedy. You know that right? Bwahahahahaha. I hope you can play golf soon, at least it's something you do well.
Have a terrific last day of the month. Big hug. :)
You went fishing and landed a HOG? What next? Fishing for chickens?! I am concerned for Minnesota lakes! Aren't there a bunch of them? ;)
Of course, if you'd landed some Girl Scout cookies, then we'd be talkin'! ;)
Sandee, my fish is a lunker!!
golly ..... hehehee
Chris, we have 10,000 lakes here, and from what I hear you can actually BUY girlscout cookies on lake mille lacs because there are stores on the ice all winter. They have roads and everything - a 3 month city
What did you dangle for bait?
or wait, do I wanna know...
LOL
Worms I am sure.
Hi Muse !!
I was using leaches (( smile ))
EEEEccckkk
blech
leeches?
oo way gross LOL
HA HAAAAAA !!!
... so what are u trying to say ?
LOL...
leeches are not peaches....
they are nasty vile ickies...
who basically, i guess, come to think about it, are indeed good bait...LOL
plus they are slimey and stink like dumpster juice. BUT - they have many medicinal qualities
Hi Speedy! Nice catch!
(Those gals in your picture link look like they might be a tad chilly out there on the ice though!)
I am definitely ready for it to warm up outside. I'm happy to welcome in the month of March tomorrow! :D
Hi Daisy!
I see you found my SEO photo link ;-) ... and I am stoked up for spring too. ( had my putter out for indoor carpet practice tonight )
I am worried about you, Speedy, what with the leeches and Girl Scout cookies... Don't mix them up! ;)
I've been fishing in MN, before. :) I know how many lakes there are! ;) Actually, fishing in the summer on a lake in MN is a pretty wonderful thing. Don't ask me what I caught, but I am pretty sure it wasn't a hog and I KNOW we didn't use leeches! EWWW!
what lake?
I guess you didn't catch any walleyes then .... heheheee
Hmph! You should have sent that fish to me as a gourmet meal instead of sticking it on a WALL! What a waste of good food!
Minnesota a good place for an Ice Road Trucker..:)
Looks like you really had fun in the middle of the lake. And with an internet, wow love that! ^_^

I miss golfing so VERY much too. But, I don't think I could ever go ice fishing!
Even if I AM:
"Doing Things Differently™!!"
Did you happen to catch any monkeyfish? Those would make a good trophy.
Then again, monkeyfish are probably an endangered species, so you'd need to keep your trophy hidden from public view.
And don't blog about it.
Inmate 1: I killed a man just to watch him die.
Inmate 2: I killed two men just to watch them watch each other die.
Inmate 3: I caught a monkeyfish and hung him on the wall.
Inmate 1: What kind of psycho would kill a monkeyfish and hang him on the wall?
Inmate 2: Freak.
So, in case that happens to you, learn to sleep with one eye open.
But did you catch any ice?
