So, my wife left me for a week during the holiday season. I've tried not to cry and whine too much, but if the most wonderful person in the world left you all alone for a week you would be depressed as well. The absence of my wife coupled with the long standing absence of ESPN in my life (almost more than I can bear) has me in pretty bad shape. It makes me want to go fishing. What? No wife = no permission needed? SWEET! Me in Santa hat


Doing this



Turns into this



It makes me smile


So, some of the perch were still kicking after being out of the water for 4 hours, so I tried to revive them in our bathtub to see if I could keep them fresh for an extended period of time. Some of them were able to swim side ways, but after two hours of no improvement, I decided it was time to bust out the knife and fillet them. They were delicious. My buddy, Brian, and I caught over 50 by lunch. I caught 5 rainbows between 13-16 inches, and the rest were perch 8-11 inches. Twas a good day. Now, I'm missing my wife.
Jeebers, I love you! Oh, I did wash the tub.... :)

Good catch, Kevin! I love the way you lined them all up in such neat, tidy rows. You're such a...a...what kind of person lines up the fish into neat, tidy rows? (I'm not criticizing or questioning you. I just don't know what those people are called. Neat fish liner-uppers? See! really now what to call that kind of person!) But fish really do look cool lined up all nice and tidy on the ice. Okay, I'll stop now. Bye.

You are so lucky that you included that last sentence!

Actually, I'm glad you have had some fun times doing manly stuff so you didn't have to be so sad while I was in California. I love you and miss you too!!! Thanks for posting on the blog. I love to read your posts. And you look very sexy in your santa hat :) xox

I put a bunch of fish in our bathtub, and I only get 2 comments! C'mon, that was a 'horrible husband' moment right there. I thought I would get more comments than that....

Sorry, I've been a bit preoccupied and haven't kept up on blogs. Also, my computer has been hijacked frequently. But that was a fun post, you neat fish liner-upper, you.

Fish in the bath tub is nothing...you should have seen the treasure Maggie left for us during her bath just 2 hours ago.
