Well first of all with New Year's Day falling on a Sunday, we went to church. I actually love that it started on a Sunday and that was the first thing we got to do in 2012 :)
Afterwards we came home and loaded up to go ice fishing with a couple guys from our church. They go out to Mantua pretty often and the one guy Chuck has the perfect spot saved in his gps where he goes and catches tons of bluegill. We have rarely had any luck at Mantua, so it was fun to go with him and just like he promised as soon as we put our lines down we started catching them.
It was pretty non-stop the whole 2 or so hours we were there.
Lars was laughing at me because I was catching them on 2 poles and each time I would catch one, I'd run it over to him to take off the hook and hurry and run back and drop the line back down, just in time to catch one on the other rod and run it over to him :)
Ashton and Gunnar were interested for a few minutes...
...but they are pretty much fished out this season :)
So they played in the tent and on the ice more than fished that day. But it was another beautiful day. We have really lucked out this year with the weather!
Here are just some of the fish we caught...
We put tons back that weren't quite big enough to be worth cooking.
Caught lots on my new pink rods :)
Fun way to spend New Year's Day...
I love this picture of Gunnar...ahh to be a kid :)
We rarely ever keep fish to eat just because it's kind of a big pain, but that day we decided to and after lots of work (ask Lars)...they turned out really good!
