We all want to catch that big one but be careful of what you wish for:

I am home from work and just back from the doctor’s office. I am awaiting the results of X-rays taken on my left knee. Why – because I was stupid! This is all because of a bad fall I took on the ice while ice fishing 9 days ago. I had Yak Tracks & ice cleats in my ice-fishing box but did not have them on. Now I am paying for my stupidity. Please wear some sort of ice cleat when there is no snow cover on the ice. I learned my lesson the hard way. When you get older, the falls hurt alot more.
