Big Cliff Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Today pikeslayerjr came over with a friend of his from school, Jake. I had offered to get them out fishing and naturally told Sean fish stories about the fishing here. You all know the deal; a promise made is a debt unpaid, well I don't like unpaid debts. The snow was deep but I finally managed to break a trail out onto the lake with my ATV after getting stuck a few times, but hey, I'm old and stuborn so I broke a trail out to where I figured we could get some fish. Things didn't start of that great, the guys couldn't find any place that was open to get minnows but I had talked to a friend of mine and he said he would see what he could do. We wern't out on the ice for long and Jake hooked a walleye but it got off on him. Then my friend Jim showed up with minnows. First off, we caught a few perch, then Sean lost a walleye. Then I landed a nice walleye and things just kept getting better. Sean landed his first walleye through the ice, Jake landed his first walleye through the ice, then Jake landed a beautiful muskie with Sean's help. The boys are still out there fishing (I got cold and decided to head in) but I think Sean will be posting a report and pictures later, all I can say is "I LOVE" having these two young men here. Watching them having a wonderful time with experiences they will never forget. How much better can it get! Edited February 7, 2011 by Big Cliff
bigugli Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 That's the part I really like. Sharing oppoortunities and experiences with others so they too can enjoy the sport we love.
Big Cliff Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Posted February 6, 2011 Cliff, you are the man . . . Thank you but the way I look at it, these two young men are our future!
ketchenany Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 I could not agree with you more. I too have also taken 'kids' and tought them as much as possible (typography) and I'm also glad that they still keep in touch as I do with my mentors after 40 years. Cliff,, we have to pass on our skills and knowledge; we can't take it with us. keep teaching, it will not go to waste along as you have the right students.I know I will. Keep well and have a good winter on the ice. I did it for many years and I miss it, but with the grands kids I may take it up when they are able to.
