Changing your Plans: Last Minute Decison Pays Off BIG!!!!!!

Post by **Frazman** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 5:10 pm

Hey Fatluke,

Some nice looking fish for sure. There are times when the last minute
plans turn out to be more fun.

That should hold you over until the ice melts now..

Take care

Its was great to get out on lake DOUBLE XL

with Luke and see him get into that big male after watching him lose a big spec at the hole as well as a couple lakers this season.
Those two fish were worth the couple days of odd looks you get when sporting a fierce winter sunburn and the cut in my finger from grabbbing a fish making a run on fireline

Holy Smokes NotsoFatLuke!

The pics are amazing...I'm most impressed with the length of the descriptive report. We usually don't get more than a couple syllables out of you when we fish

. You must have been very excited old boy!

That's quite a way to put a wrap on the ice season. Too bad we had to battle through so much snow this season. Just think of all the places we could have gone this year!

Awesome report Luke...thanks for taking the time to put the pencil to paper and the thoughts together. Congrats are in order.

Please email me the full res pics, OK!

Big congrats guys, and thanks for sharing the pics
Those are really nice splake!!

Gotta love those colours.

You'll be thinking of that trip and the line peeling off your reel, all the way to next ice season.

Thanks guys. I'm not one for posting or commenting either, but I had to post this to get reactions about mounting it. I know there's bigger splake out there, but I'm not sure I'll get another that looks quite as nice as this one.

HAHA. Jeff. I'm too busy fishing that why you don't get any words out of me!! Even when I go with my best friend of 20 years or my Dad, I don't talk that much.

Good luck this afternoon. I would have liked to join you's but I can't sneak out of work.

I'm glad I got the fish and the sunburn on Sunday. It would have been hard to justify a sunburn like I have now if it was on a "Sick" day!!!
