that sure is a cool story to have. I think you get extra man points for wrestling a fish out of a frozen lake.


He was slippery so it was more like giving a bear hug to a greased pig. Believe it or not I stuck my fat gloved finger down his sucker mouth and inflated my BC with the other hand before giving the signal to pull me back. Two weeks ago I had a big bullhead in my hand with that one tine on his back locked in between my fingers when I tugged four times on the rope. I was expecting a fast pull but Shooter really pulled me in fast. I was crusing toward the hole and I almost hit that old wood boat that ArcFlash and I found earlier. When I arched my back to gain altitude and get over the boat, I lost my grip on the bullhead. It was that dive that we adopted a new rope signal: 3 tugs = "I found the target so pull me in kinda nicely".

Sounds like a bunch of fish stories but I swear its true.
