I went to another pond, but it was still mostly frozen.
I wonder if the ice breaker was for the Princeton rowing team.

I wouldn't want to see what the inside of those guys' cooler looked like. I have a feeling it would break my heart. People treat these lakes like a free-for-all supermarket shopping spree, but the reality is, it doesn't take much in the way of over-harvest to degrade a good fishery.
