Warming Trend

It was forecasted to be a warm weekend here in H-town, but that didn't happen. So I crawled from my cozy bed at O'dark 30 this morning with dreams of a relatively warm day of fishing. The thermometer on my truck started at 6 and dropped to -2 by the time I got to the ice.

I rolled in to the sacred fishing access site still in the dark and some ice fishing bretheren were already there unloading their 4-wheelers. So I turned to one of my new found neighbors unloading a 4-wheeler and asked him how it was going. His response: Sh*t, it's f*cking cold and it is going to be a f*cking cold ride to where we're fishing. On top of that, I just froze my f*cking ass to the f*cking seat in that f*cking outhouse while taking a f*cking nasty sh*t.

A lot disturbed with the experience sharing, but very thankful that my day had started better than his, I wished my new found friend luck in his fishing endeavors and grabbed my worms and maggots and headed out on to the ice. The fishing was a little slow, but had some pretty good success. My camera froze, so the photo below is an apres fishing photo that I might use in my PETA application. All and all, was a good morning on the ice.

I fileted them and now have enough to make it worth smoking them on the BBQ. I know the cunter photo is lame, but it was the only option I had. If you were there, you could have taped the camera to the backside of your scrotum to keep it warm enough to work.
