Kent and Mike,
I can't thank you enough for a great day on Saturday. I don't think I could have asked for a better day. You were very patient and gracious. You were both excellent teachers willing to answer all my questions and let me share in the fun of ice fishing. I've never before had the experience of realizing that my fingers were numb and my toes were cold but not caring because I just "iced a 21" cutt at the berry". It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope we can do it again some time. I'll take what I learned and hopefully have many more fun experiences ice fishing with friends and family.
I just want to say that neither Kent nor Mike had met me before. Kent contacted me after I posted on the DWR forum and invited me to go ice fishing. I imagine that if this had not happened, I would have gone out with some inexperienced buddies with inadequate equipment and no clue what to do and been skunked and resolved never to go again. Kent could have just given me some tips on the forum and wished me luck. Instead he went the extra mile (60 miles I think) and extended a very friendly hand to help out a fellow angler. It made all the difference in the world to me. What a great opportunity. Many many thanks again Kent and MIke.
