The Story…
Well the girls are bad@$$es they let us go ice fishing for the weekend on valentines day. So we made our way out to the little town of Baraga, MI. We got out to the ice and soon learned there was a pike fishing tournament going on, we missed the signup and stuff but we were fine with that, whatever right. That is when we started smacking fish on the tip-ups one after the other pretty steady all day long. What a great time, we kept 8 or 9 fish none under 28inches, and let a bunch go. The three honarable mentioned fish where matt’s 36in, 11lber. Andy’s 40in, 22lber. And my 43in, 21lber. James also caught a 38in, 15lber a couple weeks before. Well curiousity got the best of me and we drove by the tourney anyways where i asked a guy what the big fish was…18lbs!!! Second was 15. So we took the two big twin pikes into the bar and it was nothing but applause and pictures. Then a taxidermist and local fishing guide came up to us and was amazed we stomped his fish. After he tried to fish the location out of us he offered to mount all three fish for 7 dollars an inch, instead of 10…We couldnt resist…now the 3 week wait begins til me, andy, and james get our big beautiful fish back.
