I graduated with my college degree early - which sounds great except for the fact that I was immediately kicked out of university housing, absolutely broke and piling on the debt, with no sign of a career insight. To top it off, my now husband Matt was leaving for Alaska. At the time, I felt like my world was ending. There was one person, however, that assured me life would go on. In the coming months she let me room with her for free, fed me meals, and let me cry on her apartment floor as I was forced to figure out the details of my future sooner then I imagined. But she was right, it would turn out alright. Those moments are important in life, because they give you a point of reference to compare yourself to. They also give you a point of reference to compare your relationships to. I had the privilege of taking her out fishing a couple of times this week. We smiled and laughed as we both constantly missed and hooked into fish. The time together reminded us both of where we were and how far we have come. Who you choose to surround yourself with has a strong influence on where you will end up, and who you will end up being. So choose wisely.
 Thanks Holly, for taking time then and now to make some memories :)

Been fishing in 40 feet with about 20 feet of plan

Been fishing in 40 feet with about 20 feet of plankton to work through. @lindy_fishing tungsten toads tipped with a minnow have worked well. Jig above the plankton line and they come up. Fishing above that line also tends to eliminate any chance of barotrauma for the fish you want to throw back. Those fish congregate in the deeps to feed, so you can’t go wrong setting up in the evening there - once the zooplankton works it’s way out of the ground.

Went out for a really quick crappie bite outing last night. It was one of the few times a plastic/waxworm worked significantly better than a minnow. Lots of fish transitioning into the basin - we were setup along the break in 30 feet. #fishing #icefishing #hardwater #icelife #hookset #thisisfishing #fishingaddict #crappie #blackcrappie #crappiefishing #ladyangler #dsgfish #whatgetsyououtdoors

My biggest splake of the trip! These fish take you

My biggest splake of the trip! These fish take you on a serious ride. I’ve never targeted splake before in my life, and I’ve never targeted any trout through the ice... so the entire trip was a learning experience! Thanks to @nebraskamuskiegirl for the knowledge and landing the fish 💪🏼 #troutfishing #trout #icefishing #thisisfishing #hookset #fishingaddict #hookset #whatgetsyououtdoors #itsinmynature #fishinglures #icelife #troutunlimited #troutofinsta #catchandrelease

I start communicating with Erin a few years ago and after fishing together in Nebraska we became great friends. She has since moved to Utah and has absolutely dialed in the the lakes there. She always told me to fly in so she could show me what great trout fishing is all about... and she did just that! The two of us spent the weekend in the mountains and she got us on a killer trophy splake bite. I’ve never caught a splake before so it was quite the adventure. These fish can seriously fight. She isn’t just a fishing expert, but a talented taxidermist to boot! Talk about living that outdoor life 🔥 Social media has given me some pretty dang awesome friendships. #icefishing #troutfishing #trout #troutbum #troutofinsta #fishing #hookset #thisisfishing #fishingaddict #whatgetsyououtdoors #icelife #dsgfish #doingsomethinggreat #whatgetsyououtdoors #ladyangler #ladiesofangling
