I first saw the long range forecast on Monday they were calling for forty five on Friday so I informed my wife that the kids and I would be headed out on the ice if the forecast holds. The day turned out incredible with twenty plus flags and over a dozen largemouth bass with two nice perch. My daughter Lily caught plenty, with my son Eric catching the big boy of the day of over 3 1/2 pounds. At lunch I call my wife Tasha and she brought lunch with my youngest daughter Ava. Sure happy I took the time to go fishing with my kids today. We all need to take breaks to remember what life is all about.
