We took an old metal shortening can with handle that was filled with hot cocoa...I think when the cocoa was gone, the fun waned pretty quickly! Haven't kept the hobby as an adult, but my dad, age 79, goes on an almost daily basis--with or without a fish house! I think it keeps him young! If he couldn't fish, day in & day out, I think life would be awfully boring for him. ~AbraAbranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-60120680200302751042011-02-03T08:42:36.285-06:002011-02-03T08:42:36.285-06:00Thank you for sharin' your beautiful memories....Thank you for sharin' your beautiful memories.

My best memory of ice fishing is with my dad in the spring a few years before he died. He called me up to go fishing on a week day and it was just the two of us.

Wonder why that is. That probably makes it worth it to sit out there in the cold to hook a big one.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-19180851325384805512011-02-02T12:44:26.967-06:002011-02-02T12:44:26.967-06:00I'll bet your Uncle Adolf's prize winning ...I'll bet your Uncle Adolf's prize winning fish gets bigger every time he tells the story:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-70802381649151012882011-02-02T12:17:19.989-06:002011-02-02T12:17:19.989-06:00I've never been a fishing fan... but I imagine...I've never been a fishing fan... but I imagine it is very meditative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-7881690218311372502011-02-02T12:03:48.258-06:002011-02-02T12:03:48.258-06:00You know, I envy you and your ice fishing land of ...You know, I envy you and your ice fishing land of lakes.

He already goes out in awful weather to freeze his pants to the lake and calls it fun. Although he does bring home his fair share of trout.
