Ice Fishing

So waking up at the butt crack of dawn isn't really my idea of an enjoyable time. BUT I did make an exception for my first experience at ice fishing at:


Gotta tell ya, Montana is beautiful at 8am!

The gear...

J's first fish!


Trev's fish wasn't "big" enough so he put it back...

While Brent's still waiting for his fish...


I got my fish! And then another!
(Notice that I don't dare touch the slimy thing, I had to use the pliers:)
All in all we went home with 10 fish. Poor Brent got skunked! See that big one on the right... yeah, that's mine...

The fishing crew

Such a pretty day up in the mountains!!

Your dad's so nice! He was a sport for putting up with me that early in the morning! Next time you come up in the winter time we will all have to go!
