The Fizgig and the Eye...4/13/2001 

                                                                28 1/2 inches - 10 lbs!!

So I went night fishing up in Door County for the infamous MONSTER walleyes
with Ryan and our friend Steve (a fishing guide).  It was a COLD night -
perfect conditions for fishing - not so good for all the extremities on ones
body.  After 4 plus hours of freezing temps and nary a hit, I started to
disbelieve the tales I'd heard and then....

Exterior Shot - Sturgeon Bay - Friday, April 13th (that's right - the day of
Jason) - 35 degrees - wind blowing - pitch black night - 1 Man, 1 woman, 1
teenage boy.  Huddled against the cool night air - talking about UFO's, Heavy
Metal, Religion and Mercury 175's...

      Karen:
            (freezing, shaking, wondering how much longer she'll have to put up with this nonsense in order to keep her

                "cool aunt image":  

      "Uhmmm, Steve, I think I have a fish - what should I do?"

I AM THE FISHERCHICK!!  The only CHICK on the boat caught a fish!!  JUST ME!!

Check out the size of my monster - 28 1/2 inches 10lbs plus!!  As you'll see,
 I've earned the right to brag!! It was so cold -  I didn't even want to pull
down the wool turtleneck sweater I'd kept over most of my face as a muffler
the whole night!!

Steve and Ryan convinced me to have the fish mounted! They said it was a
tribute to the fish and that I'd probably NEVER catch another fish that big.
I agreed - though I'm thinking of it more as a tribute to my boobies being
frozen off that night, as well as my manicure being ruined!!

      "Steve, you want me to put my fingers where???"

So you'll all come see it on my new wall in my new house!!  

Take me HOME!
