Yes they are. I wish their average size was about twice as big as the one pictured above. That would be a good fight and nice fillet.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

They are going to hit the hot oil at about 1600 hours on Sunday.

Those are some bomb crappie for a Northern pond!

1/2 pints of flavored Schnapps are quite popular in the Brainerd area for ice fishing purposes. Be sure to bring more than one halfer or they will laugh at you.... Dwight, you weren't kidding. Couldn't avoid the schnapps of all flavors. This was merely a volunteer thing so we didn't fish, but we made the rounds and were given food and drink seemingly every time we turned around. At one point I was handed a brat. Took a couple bites and then the guy warns me that "there's something special in there". Sure enough, my mouth is on fire. My buddy turns to a group of guys enjoying drinks and says his buddy needs something to put out a fire. He pours something red into my shot glass and I throw it back. He turns the bottle over and it's something called Hot Damn 1000 or something like that. Super hot. Definitely made it worse! All this before the gun went off at noon! So yeah, it was a crazy time. Basically just a huge tailgate party on the ice. I couldn't take very many pictures due to the need to keep my phone and hands warm, but here are a few... Complete with street signs. The winning walleye. Picture doesn't do it justice. It was a nice fish. Just a shade under 6.5 pounds. Won the guy a new truck. Just a cute picture of a girl and her little brother. Our crew afterwards. They definitely do it the right way up there. Every demographic was represented and saw some very cool and innovative sleds and set ups. Actual temp that morning was -6F. Windchill was probably approaching -20F, but the sun was shining and the wind died down by the afternoon.

It sounds like you had a good time! Just think of the fish swimming around down there and seeing all those baits. Ice fishing up there is a serious pasttime.
If you want something to warm you up while out on the ice, I was given a bottle of clear stuff.
Smells like rubbing alcohol, just wet your lips and your whole mouth feels warm. A shot feels like you poured liquid fire down your throat, but as a mixer, it is great - especially in apple juice or something like that. Sunil or TJ would appreciate it, you wake up with a clear head the next morning.
I was told it's 190 proof.............

No, this is home brew. IIRC Everclear is 180 proof.

Ah, some moonshine concoction. Everclear was 190 proof when we were buying it (on rare occasions!), but I think that potency is illegal in some states.

Oh, the 190 is available here in Nebraska too. Or at least was when I was more of the party type. Bad idea for jello shots that was...

Tried 6 oz of frozen concentrated orange juice, 6 oz of everclear, fill blender with ice and buzz it for a while. Good, but more then one or two will give you the spins. Especially if you have a large glass.

Sounds dangerous stick! We did 50/50 jello shots years ago. Sneaks up on you in a bad way!

Jeff and the stick were out ice fishing again yesterday. 17 YP, 14 BCP, 12 LMB, 2 BG, and the 30.5 inch 7 pound NP. The LMB and NP were C&R. 12 of the YP didn't fit on the photo board so they didn't get their picture taken.

I don't know what I'm more jealous of. The plump YP in that picture or the green shades in that picture.
