I've got a buddy of mine that for years has gone fishing the first day of the year, regardless of the weather. He is a big Musky fishermen. I went along with him several years in a row, but the past few have let the draw of college football and a big meal trump fishing. What's wrong with me?! Glad you got on some fish, looks like I need to renew fishing the first day of the year as a New Years Resolution. I can stand to miss a meal or to anyway and can DVR the better bowl games.
