Well glad I went to this.! The carvings,  working decoys and custom spears were amazing some peoples talents  are truly inspiring! The items there brought back some great memories of me and my fathers spearing days together. ? Had the good fortune of running into Smurfy we had a good chat both of us were blown away by a hand carved ruffed grouse on a log it was absolutey one of the best pieces i've ever seen the detailing was behond imagination.  Price was $3,000 which explains the workmanship and time put into it I should of took a pic. Smurfy introduced me to Mike 89 it was great to finally meet you hopefully in the future we will get more time to know each other. . Thanks again for posting this show I guarantee ill be back again next year.

It ain’t over already is it?  

 

I asked my my wife if she wanted to go instead of installing her new kitchen appliances.  Guess which one she picked?  I’ve been to that show a couple times.  Always plenty to look at but the high point would’ve been pressing the flesh with you other site members. 

 

And I actually mean that. ?

i just missed realizing bound was on. i like that show but on at an odd time.

 

last year i asked him about making a perch decoy. he had some but it wasnt the fine detail i was looking for but didnt seem interested in doing one special for me so i thought he was a bit smug. but then again all the other carvers didnt have one i wanted either.

      Nice fish, you put in the time for it, it sounds like!  😀   Oh Wanderer wanted me to ask.  How was the slush?  🤣

      Congrats on your lake trout, JerkinLips!! Your persistence paid off!! Don't know the regs up there, are you able to keep a few?

      Took my last ice fishing trip of the season to Burntside on Thursday.  Went out on the snowmobile to fish better spots.  I waited until daylight to go out so I wouldn't get lost or run into open water.  When I got to my destination I discovered that the battery fell off of my Ion auger on the trip out (I won't make that mistake again).  I backtracked all the way back to the landing before finding it on the ice.   I got my lines in the water just before sunrise and caught a 24 inch lake trout 45 minutes later.  Always exciting watching the lake trout peel line off of the tip-up with their strong runs.  He quit running with the pike sucker soon after I took the video and I thought it may have dropped the minnow.  Pulling the line in by hand I could feel it still on so I set the hook and caught it on the lip.  Think I caught it before it was going to swallow the minnow and take its 3rd and final run.  Was nice to finally catch a laker on Burntside again after 5 straight trips getting skunked.   It was a beautiful day on the ice with good ice conditions, warm weather, and fairly calm winds.  The creel survey guy stopped and checked on me.  He said I was the only one he saw fishing on Burntside that day.  He said that most anglers he checked on Burntside that winter were skunked for lake trout, so I guess it was just not my problem alone.   20250327_072410.mp4

      But, the deep fried Okra went in the trash can.  I've tried it a few times and it's just not for me.  Neither is Grits, chittlins, or crackling!  🤮
    • Mike89
      hope you finished it!!   WOW!!   that looks huge!!!   but good eats!!   Yep, my buddy ordered one too so it was Game on!  😋

      I think it's alway fun to try local fish or foods when I go somewhere! 😋 A few weeks ago I was down on Dauphin Island Alabama and tried a little flounder. They had small, mid and large. My wife had crab cakes, I got the mid! 😳 😆
