I got a keeper!!!!!

[Chris Finch]

yesterday my GF, my cousins, and i went ice fishing.it was pretty slow but my lady managed a nice 6+lb largemouth. I managed to a get a 5'2" brunette.

if you want to talk some serious pucker factor try putting a ring on a tip up and hopeing that it is still there in a few hours, holy crap.

the ring didn't fit the right finger but she was a good sport about it.

P.S. i didn't sell one of my boats to get the ring, LOL

Congratulations, Chris!

It sounds like you two will need to plan a wedding like Susan and I had - circa 1975 - 2 below, on a mountaintop, at sunset.

All the best - to you both!

Congratulations Chris that is great news and you didn't even need to sell a duck boat haha. Now starts all the planning. Stef and I set our date for October. I never realized how much planning goes into a wedding. Best of luck to you both.

The keeper is the lady holding the fish. That had to be a great day.

Chris, congratulations to both of you. Looks like a camo wedding. Met my wife, she could open scallops and clams, great bow shooter [not a hunter]. Likes game and loves to cook it. Helps smoking fish, but doesn't eat much.
Looks like a keeper...

 

[Carl]

Congratulations!
And nice fish too!

Chris,
Congrats to the two of you. She looks right at home in the surroundings whenever you posts photos of your adventures. That's half the battle. Nice engagement present too. That should be mounted so you always have something to look back on.

 

[John Fraser]

Congratulations to both of you! What a great place to propose!

Did you trip the flag on the tip up and send her to check it?

Best wishes!

Catch limit or size limit? I noticed one of the keepers looked a little small, but plenty of time to grow, since it looked pretty young. One of the few keepers that can get bigger after brought home.

OOPS, I typed "bigger", but meant "BETTER".
