My buddy Craig asked me to go fishing with him on Saturday but I already had a family get together planned and couldn't go. He sent me a text Saturday morning of what looked like about an 8lber he was holding and said his best 5 were pushing 30lbs. I was sure wishing I was there since we had a couple of days like that last year fishing in some of the coldest weather early in the year.

I never really have gotten the hang of fishing really well with gloves on... so went hunting instead on saturday. Chased hogs for a while but came up empty handed, I actually stayed pretty warm though. My uncle wasn't having it though, I thought I was gonna have to carry him. He wasn't ready for that kind of cold, was only wearing jeans, a shirt, and some carhartt coveralls. Lol... Boat will be out this week though.
