[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]HEY – I didn’t stay cooped up in my tent out of the wind with the heater going and fishing in my shirt sleeves ALL DAY. I got out a couple of times to take some pictures and share in the consumption of that VERY OLD chowder. Jeeeeze, a guy just can’t get a break with this crowd. [cool][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Mike forgot to mention that along with the chowder, we also had some elk sausage, smoked salmon, goose pastrami, and homemade chocolate chip cookies. It just doesn’t get any better than that folks.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]A big thank you to Bama Boy for the directions to perch nirvana. What a great day. While not all of us took home a full limit of perch, if you count all the releases (there were a few dinks caught) everybody there caught over 50 perch each. That would make the total over 300 for the day.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]And who said there were no walleye caught? Curtis and I both caught our first ever through the ice walleyes. And both were pushing the heck out of the existing world record for sure. [][/#800000][/font]
