I just spent the last 5 days in the hospital for a heart problem which the doctors think they corrected.  It sucked not being able to log on and read everyones stories.  The hospital staff wouldn't let me use the hospital computer.  I got home yesterday and confined myself to the bed and most of today reading yalls posts and got the bug to go fishing.  The weather had dropped here in S. Florida to the mid 50's so I begged the wife to drive me to the lake for some fishing time. I told her it was the best medicine.  I managed to catch three before I started to feel bad and had to leave.  They aren't big but it was great being able to get out.  I don't know how you people up north manage to survive winter time with frozen lakes and not being able to fish.  All were caught on Chug Bug.

Glad to see you're getting better.  It does suck with frozen lakes... the ice is about a foot thick and it just snowed today  > And those fish are quality size.  We're looking forward to the days in the 30's!!!  I'm sad to hear you're temps. are dropping into the 50's  :-/ I'm glad to see you're back out there reelin em' in! Good job!

Now that's excellent 'therapy' young man!  Great story and best wishes and good health to you and your very nice wife .
