Big D's 50 Before 50

I’m not much of an angler.  I enjoy fishing; I’m just not very good at it.  I’ve always wanted to try ice fishing, so when Matt’s Boy Scout Troop setup an outing, I figured this was the perfect chance.  To be honest, I can see the appeal.  It was cold, windy and definitely icy, but it was a spectacular kind of winter beauty.  We didn’t have much luck.  I managed to get one fish on the line, but he got away right before I landed him.  Matt didn’t fare much better.  It was unfortunate because the guy next to us pulled out six in a row!  But, such is the fishing life I guess.  All in all, it was a lot of fun and I’m definitely willing to give it another try someday…but maybe with one of those cool little shantys!
