Hunting is not life and death. It is more important than that.

I went out early this morning for some pike....

As you can see from the photo, not a flag up.  :cry:

It was real slow, I used shiners...and no flags.

It was fun just to get out anaway.  :happy1:

They allow you to sit back, drink a couple beers, shoot the breeze with friends, and you won't miss a thing.   ;)

My arctic siren malfunctioned this weekend.  When I went to wrap up the tipups, I noticed the flag had gone up, but for some reason didn't have enough oomph to pull the pin out of the yellow box.  God only knows how long Mr. Gator was on on the end of my line. 
Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.
