1. My entertainment for the morning. This little guy, (fat field mouse), came running out by me on the ice. He came pretty close and stayed by me for about two minutes ...more before continuing across the WHITE snow! Thought for sure I would see a hawk or another bird of prey grab him before he made it, but the little guy made it all the way across! He needs to buy a lottery ticket! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Pretty slow morning. Tried a couple of new ponds that I've never ice fished before. Mostly small gills and bass. Took a while to even find some marks.

  4. Had a long walk back to the big gill pond this morning. Deep snow for walking and 3" of slush on top again๐Ÿ˜ž. But some of the big ones were biting, so it was ...more worth it. Foggy this morning so it made the trees look pretty cool! Good morning overall.

Proud to say, over the years, he has become family to Lori and I. Thank you again Brother, for another amazing trip!
