Instead of coming up with an outlandish question to ask during these hard times, I went out and caught this little one to bug you guys with. Hit a 1/4oz redeye shad. Guides were iced up BAD...I'm fed up with winter and there's still quite a bit of it left!

Good job!

Nice! I just told my buddy today I'm going to go nuts if I can't get out there and make a cast soon! I don't think I can get my gear any more organized.

Not anybody can go catch a fish in the middle of winter. Good job .

Nice job! Unfortunately my nearby lake has ice and a foot of snow on top...

Ice Fishing just doesn't do it. I already have all my rods (somewhere around 16) relined and ready to go. All my tackle organized with the exception of my cranks, next I am inspecting hooks/sharpening/replacing. I have never been so ready to go.

Sounds like it's enough to stand on! Go get 'um.

Good job! 

 

Our lakes thawed out for about 3 or 4 days but are going to quickly be frozen back over and getting our first measurable snowfall of 2015 it sounds like

Boy wish I only had a foot of snow on the ice.  It's more like 5 feet now after that last blizzard. 

 

Congrats man on the catch!  Lucky that you can go out and throw a line.

And, according to the oversized rat, SOMETHING is going to be biting.

You beat the winter...and didn't let the winter beat you...good show!  

there have honestly been times i've been a lot prouder of ANY fish under bad conditions than a nice one under ideal conditions.  way to go out there and smoke one when you got a chance.
