I'll leave the literary accolades to the others, but let's just say it was an EPIC weekend with the Herman Brothers at Norris Lake in Illinois.

Thanks, Brothers!

Here's our buddy, and new ice fishing expert Al with a massive ice-caught bluegill.



And here's of one our gracious hosts, Justin Herman with a mega-gill.



And here's TJ, the orchestrator extraordinaire with the biggest bluegill of the trip. (sorry, but there's a raindrop on the lens due to the fact it rained like crazy for the entire first day).



Our good friend Alex from Recycled Fish with a gorgeous 'eye.



Yolkie (Dr. Dave) with another beautiful walleye.



One of our moderators Josh (Omaha) with the biggest walleye of the trip.
