Last Launch of 2013 - RockyRaab - 10-19-2013 Just had to add to this woefully underused forum... I put in with a couple other online buddies Thursday on what is likely my last launch of 2013. Mars and Regulus shone brightly in the Eastern sky as we left the ramp - and it was 28°F at Pineview Reservoir in northern Utah. My fingers got so numb by the time I started fishing that while baiting my hook, I was surprised that I couldn't let go. A closer peek showed the hook buried nicely in my numb forefinger. "Hmmm," said I to me, "It didn't hurt going in, so..." I yanked. Didn't hurt. Then. Did later. Sho' nuff. A few hours later, after watching schools of perch and crappie go by on my Humminbird - all with their middle fins raised - I bagged it. I had managed to avoid the odor of skunk, even catching one double. But the flyswatter crappie and hammerhandle perch were too small to clean. The only thing I brought home was this photo, taken by a fellow shiverer... Oh, that's not a -- my cheeks contracted in the cold.
