It was so cold....

that his head froze and broke off!!!

Got out on the hot side on Sunday. Temp guage in the car said 21 degrees. Most I could do was 35mph running to the first spot to fish. That was a painful experience.

Hooked up on the first pass with this 3.92 lb on a Poe's 300 in Smitty Shad. 1st of hopefully many in 2011

.

Was having issues all day with ice freezing in the eyes and making slushies with the line guides.

Busted off another keeper on a black and blue jig off a dock. Using a new (to me) bait/trailer made by PowerTeam (http://www.powerteamlures.com/index.php?cPath=24_47_39). Not happy that a 2lb bass busted 17lb line

For some reason the powers that be have decided that it is unsafe for the children to be at school at this time. Crazy since there isn't any snow or ice or anything on the roads right now.....so I'm heading home. Actually to the store to buy some milk, bread, and toliet paper and then home. Don't need the paper but I'll do it just for laughs.

ps Got my AU Swim and Dive shirt on today!!! Bama fan wearing her shirt wasn't happy. Ohio St fans wouldn't speak to me.

Suspect the knot tied by cold fingers not the line itself.

Actually tied the bait on at the house the night before. Line busted at or just above the knot. Had only made 20 or so casts with it. Weak spot in the line or might have nicked it somewhere.
Bass rolled twice trying to throw the bait. Saw the jig outside fishes mouth both times.

Sounds like Ron White, it broke off, it broke off, it broke the !@#$ off. hahahaha You are hardcore brother.

It was a good trip but very cold. It was supposed to get up to 40 degrees but never got out of the low 30's. It will be the last trip for a little while. Damaged prop needs to be replaced and also blew a hub and the spindle has a little damage to it. I'll have to replace the entire axle to replace the spindle. Need to save up for the repairs. Also Uncle Sam will be sending me a refund soon so that will help.

Looks like the monkey will have to take a back seat to the boat gorilla for while.
