rtark is layed up resting after whooping me in my boat today,,,I am so embarrassedwhen he called, I was lounging around the house, relaxing..he started like this, Hey, the weather man missed it,,it still as can be outside. I'd go fishing but my battery is dead.....yeah...and then he was so optimistic that we would slay the HUGE crappie...when we got to ouida, it was white capping, temp gage in truck said..BRRRRRRRRR......24 degrees......we laughed at the cold....until we launched the boat, geeeesh,,it was AWFUL out there...only time in my life that wind was hitting me in the face and the back of the head at the same time.....seriously,,it was...anyway,,I won't attempt to describe the anguish of that 25 MPH wind, my frozen fingers, the crappie when we lifted them from the water was instantly freeze dryed,,almost...but we had a great time caught in excess of our limits, releasing many of course, came in, fileted them and cooked more than any two people should ever eat...all told,,it was a great day,,spent with a old friend laughing, cussing, crying and catching crappie was a bonus.
