But this is what call a Fisherman:fish I am impressed
Now I know I am in the lowly group that just fishes.....:dono
I guess I could ask the wife if she will break ice for me later in the winter.... but I know she would tell me to Go Pound Sand :hatchet:

BRRRrrrrr....
Probly not a bad day for fishing you would be the only one on the water.
Man oh man, am I glad I don't live in KS !:) That looks like no fun at all.
I have no idea where it is at....I pulled it off facebook. I just thought it was an example of a true hardcore fishermanQuote:

Never did this to fish but Byron Johnson and I did it many times to duck hunt at Glen Elder in the late 90's! Also replaced a lot of tail light lens on the boat trailer after backing the boat into the water in the dark only to discover "hard" water!! Lol
I did that once to launch a boat for duck hunting also. But then we still had to throttle it up to drive up on the ice and jump up and down in the boat to keep 'er moving and breaking ice. I rememer thinking we were surely going to die and how the F did I get mixed up with the guys I was out with...:yikes My lifejacket was not much comfort. I just kept thinking it would only make our bodies easier to find later... Once we hit open water I felt a lot better about the whole situation, but we smashed ice for a good 150 yards to hit open water. And of course it was not a LUND boat like the pic. It was a crappy flat-bottom boat loaded with a blind, 3 hunters, 2 labs, and all the decoys we had space for...Quote:

Now I am going to have to make a run out to the Glen.....never been there except to buy a Lund....
Wow. That's some hardcore fishing.
Break ice, break ice, fish, break ice, break ice, tell fish stories, catch some fish, break ice, limit out, break ice, load boat, tell fish stories, then go home. Lol
I find it's easier to take a video camera because half the people out there don't believe the crap we do! Let's just say we have a lot of fun and every once in a while we catch some fish. This post made me go back and read our website posting from that trip, that trip was unreal. We now have another one on the books for the end of Dec. Whiskey time is getting close!!!
Where's Bob Roberts? That sure seems like one of his settings and pictures. When you want to open a ramp like that, go with Bob, he'll get you lined out.
