Well, he's still alive after another winter.
The first time Ol' Chuck came to visit me this year was on the back side of the barn when I was pulling the mud-boat out of hibernation to do some spring ice fishing and then again as I was putting the boat back... we iced nine pike that day with the biggest being well over ten (I'm guessing it was 12-ish or so), and rest were in the 3-6 range.
The next time I saw Chuck was yesterday when I was riding the tractor on my way out of the orchard... he was running along side of me like the Road Runner, and I mean to tell you his legs looked like wheels... he had everything the cartoon did except the
"beep beep"! It was so cool that I just had to pull out my phone and shoot some video; I wish I could post it here for you all to see, but you'll just have to take my word for it... (kinda like olsarge's 16.5 crappie)
