Ice fishing.

It’s really a big oximoron of a sport. I enjoy ice fishing the most when I am in a warm, heated ice house. So to think that I’m out there freezing my butt off just isn’t true. Plus, we catch a lot of Walleye where I am from — its delicious. 

One of my best friends writes: "A few years ago while ice fishing over college winter break with a neighbor (yes, his name REALLY is Ole) I was informed of a delicious recipe for cooking walleye. After it is boned and cleaned, simply boil it in a small pot of lemon-lime soda (7-up, Sprite, or Sierra Mist.) When the fish is cooked, drain and serve it with melted butter. As Ole’s wife Barb would say "It tastes just like lobster!"" -YUM!

Luckily, ice fishing is common in Vermont too, so I feel at home every time I drive in to work - only to see about a dozen fish houses on the ice to my right.  Are you guys catching anything out there? I also feel fortunate to be experiencing 22*F weather instead of the -2*F in Minnesota today. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Minnesota Ice Fishing. Notice the large mountains in the landscape? Probably not.
