Don't get me wrong, I don't have a complaint in the world. It was a beautiful day for November, the company was great and the fishing was excellent. The point I was trying to make was that 60 fish isn't an AMAZING number of fish for three guys over 10 hours at strawberry this time of year. 60 fish is simply a relative number. There are lakes where that total would be the end all, be all days in the history of the lake, but at strawberry (a truely spectacular fishery) there are better days to be had.
I didn't mean to sound ho hum about it, everytime I go some one in the group brings up how amazing it is to have access to a fishery that produces such great fish in great numbers. There aren't that many lakes out there that would produce 60 fish in a day and I can't think of a single one where none of those fish are under 17".
If given a choice I would rather have the day we did and be in a sweatshirt most of the day than catch twice as many and be bundled up in full ice fishing gear all day and fighting the boat in a 25 MPH wind.
