We went down to the beach this morning to find Cliff sunk into the ice. Warm winds and rain last night knocked him down from his perch. Here he is at a warm sunrise, I am sure the lake is quite chilly yet
Sunrises don’t get prettier than this

Pulling Cliff Out of the water was fun. We left him floating and came back and he had disapeared
Where did he go? Somewhere at the end of the rope is something..
Pulling in something bigger than a Muskie
Heavy and water logged
He has a year to dry out until Ice Out 2013. Thanks for joining us for a very short contest this year
