STILL a topic of conversation

It's taken me a long time to get these up and my brother really has better pictures than I do but I have to write about it because it is STILL a topic of conversation at their house.

A few years ago the Roska boys and wifes risked our lives to ice fish at Fish Lake. It was a wonderful trip and we were dieing to go again. So the boys planned another trip but in the end half of them weren't able to get away from work so we had an opening. We were lucky to have Andrew and Ethan join us on the ice.

Brad and Drew were able to drown some worms on Saturday afternoon and caught our dinner. Mmmm.... By the time the Clarks were able to get out on the ice there was time enough for only Ethan to catch one. And his dad, zero.

Sunday it was cold and windy and snowing. We waited for the storm to part and got our gear on but then, wouldn't you know it, the snow came back in full force. As much as the adults wanted to brave it, the most time any of us spent out there was an hour at best. No fish.

Then Monday came and we loaded up the cars and hit the lake again. The fish were well fed over the weekend and weren't biting as hard. I missed a few really good bites. These would have been fish so large they wouldn't have fit through the hole in the ice, but alas, I did not catch any. Ethan did catch one more fish and his dad did not.

So, I've been told that Ethan will still bring it up in random conversation that he caught 2 fish and his dad didn't catch any. He was born to be a fisherman. Now we need to do some summer fishing so that we can share in the bragging rights.
