As some of you are aware, I am likely to be having surgery on a herniated disk in my lower back shortly (I am going for consultation this TUES.), and probably will be having a rather short ice season.
:sad:
I hit a local inland body of water with my step - son this afternoon, figuring my time is short - and we got a few perch and one decent walleye about 25".
It takes a little wrangling to get a 4+Lb. fish to come thru a 6" hole when they're ticked off.
:lol:
#5 glow perch jigging shad rap, 25 FOW - 4:30PM.

:chillin:
It was great to be out and now my step son wants an Arctic Armor suit too.

I sure hope I heal fast - maybe I can still get out again YET!!

Good luck with the surgery Robert. The pick of that eye is making me jealous. Guess I'll stick to the big yellow bellies. Shoot me a PM if you have any chances to get out before the surgery.

Good job Robert. I knew something was funny because I drove by this afternoon and as soon as I got near the lake my hair started standing on end........figured you had that 10 gigawatt beast fired up somewhere...:lol:

For those of you that need translation on the above sentence... as I know Robert can read it without any trouble...

I see that a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in awhile.

Hmmm

.... although it looks like you probably found it laying around on the ice instead of catching it though!!

Ok... ok... I'll give you credit this time around!!

It was great to be out and now my step son wants an Arctic Armor suit too.

Do those Artic Armor suits come in cLoWn CoLoR?

So how long is the recovery going to take?

Maybe some late ice sMeltZs?... or a brownie or whitey or two off the pier this spring?

Here's hoping that things go well with the back!!

Will definitely be in touch!!

Nice job Robert, get your fix in. Hope they can fix you up right the first time bro.

Maybe I can borrow your bird while you are down?

 

[Cruisin' Spartan]

Just about everyone here has already said it, but I wanted to add my well wishes also. Nice Fish, a successful surgery, and a speedy recovery. Hopefully you make it back out before last ice.

 

[Burksee]

Hi Robert, congrats on the nice fish! Just wanted to add my $.02 and wish you the best on your upcoming surgery, hope you have a speedy recovery!

 

[sfw1960]

Thanks to all of you fine folks for the kind words & well wishes.
I am going under the knife at the end of this month, I am officially scheduled with a surgeon.
It's kind of a scary thing - but I can't keep popping pills & gimping for the rest of my days...

Here's what those fillets looked like AFTER she spent the night in the trunk and just before my step son took off her pants & jacket....

:lol:

Have fun & be safe!!

Nice eyeball Robert. Best of luck on the surgery, your rehab, and before you know it, you'll be back out there losing large northern again.

Actually, this ain't too bad a time of year to be laid up for a while. Best wishes!
