Hide'n out in Haliburton Report, Iceman cometh, oh, holy cripes

[chris.brock]

My young nephew Teagan had had enough.

We had a DD and a few drinks were flowing for the others. The bite was slow and the conversation was getting rich with crap. Teagan is still too young to drink and participate in the stupidity. Teagan had a sneer on his face and he grabbed the auger walked off. He walked into no man's land and cut a hole and set a line.

Once he returned to base camp, one guy was singing "O holy night" acapella. It wasn't long before Teagan was sprinting back to no man's land because his rod was bouncing. He dropped the hammer on a beauty 9 pounder that would make the day a success and he would give himself an early X mas present, a new PB.

the ice was pretty crap Bunk, and this warm weather won't help, with a single place trailer and the logistics, the Phazer got the nod over the little Bravo
