    Yep that will wear you out, but what fun I bet you had. That is a nice bird you shot. Like the fish too.

    I have seen a cold front like this bunch the fish up before. hopefully we can find where they are bunched up now! they are makin power 20 hrs a day so maybe the lake won't rise a lot with this new rain.
