Spillway Fishing

Here are some pictures of my recent fishing trips... the place I caught these fish is 8 minutes away.
We have been catching a lot of Wipers, which is a hybrid fish of a white bass and a striper. This is what they look like:


2 days ago I went down to the spillway expecting to catch more Wipers, which we did, but not as much. Instead, these Walleye were biting on our jig and plastic minnow setups. I had never caught a Walleye so I had my buddy take this picture

Then, 10 minutes later, I hooked into this 23 inch, 5 lb monster Walleye! It was quite the fight. I told the Asian guy next to me that I would give him my next fish I caught. He was more excited than I was to see this thing come out of the water! This is a big size for Walleye. We had a good time if you can't tell by the smile on my face.

I Caught You a Delicious Bass

I finally got out fishing today... it was a good time. We went to a pond hidden away in Des Moines. We caught 4 fish total. I caught a large 3.5 lb/ 18.5 inch largemouth bass on a Rapella Shad Rap. When I opened it's mouth up, there was a large tail of another fish poking out. You can see it in the picture.


Here is a picture of Matt's first bass of the season.

Life In Technicolor

I really like Coldplay. I did a search on a song "Life in Technicolor" from their new album and found this music video. The original song has no lyrics, but this video does. It's about time Coldplay does a music video where they don'y just show Chris (the lead singer) just walking around singing the song.
Brandon and Erik... this is especially for you.

Ouray Ice Climbing

Over the Christmas break our Brandon & Danina Thatcher came and visited us in Montrose Colorado. So because they are so awesome, we all decided to go to Ouray for a day and watch the ice climbers. Just watching these guys was intense! Here is a slide show of our adventures, Brandon took half of these pictures and I took half... enjoy!


Here is a video of the climbers

STI practice

My buddy Matt sent me this. This is one sweet STI. My corrola drools when it watches this video...
How would you like him to drive you to school?

I Voted, and this is my story

Sam and I went and voted a day early on the Monday before elections. We were in a huge line of people, most so enthusiastic about Obama that any republican would have to wear camouflage to get through it all.
As we were waiting in the line, a obvious Obama supporter was standing behind us. Being by herself, she decided that she needed to have a conversation with her friend via cellphone. Because nobody in the line had anything better to do, we were all entitled to hear her very loud conversation which displayed her unique IQ. This is her conversation:
Hi, what you doin?.... fun... me? oh, I had a job interview downtown, but I couldn't find it, so I decided to come vote... no I didn't go, do you know where it is?... oh well, I will find another job. Yeah, I'm voting... I just turned twenty so it is my first time... I know, I was going to like take pictures and stuff... but I'm not.
TIMEOUT: We now know this, she is a 20 year old African American, who is a first time voter. She obviously doesn't pay attention to details because she doesn't give a care that she just stood up her interviewer, and didn't call to let them know... I know, Sam and I are thinking the same thing...
TIME IN:(we are now up to the sample ballot, showing all the candidates) So, here is the ballot, this is so great! Ok, I want to read you the candidates... Obama... yeah! and Joe Bid-en (the Bi is pronounced like bid)... who is Joe Bid-en...? What? Where is Hillary... I thought Hillary was his vice president?... What, Bi-den?
TIMEOUT: Now I am the public display, I am laughing too hard not to be noticeable, but at this point, I don't think many of the people around us were short of a smile either. Sam is even smiling, but keeping it in...
TIME IN: (I don't know what happened after that, I was laughing too hard)

This has been our joke for the longest time... Bi-den, who's Joe Bi-den? While it is funny, it brought me to thinking... I am worried that too many people were looking at a person and their popularity and not the platform and what they stand for...

This is my opportunity to congratulate Obama on the presidency. My prayers are with him and our government that they will make good choices to represent our country.
