Just checking in!!

[Chris Granrud]

Man has it been a long time since I've been in a fishing forum!! A lot has changed since my forum henpecking days, but I just wanted to check in and say hi. I can't promise huge commitments in time, but will try stop in on occasion and weigh in here on the Ice Team forum. If I can ever be of help please don't hesitate to give me a shout. I'd like to commend fellow Ice Team members as well as Ice team head Matt Johnson for his involvement within this targeted effort benefiting the entire Ice angling community. Time commitments can be huge and those efforts shall not be taken lightly.  For those of you whom I haven't yet met, my wife Kelly (Katchin' Kelly) and I own and operate Rainydaze Guide Service here on Rainy Lake outside of International Falls. We are fortunate enough to have 4 licensed captains that help serve our client base. Our shared love for fishing continues to fuel our motivation to share with other anglers like yourself. I'm not here to product push or promote our personal service. I'm happy to say we're at the point in our career where we're happy to discuss a passion that has meant such a great deal to our personal lives. It's been awhile since I've initiated a post or loaded a pic here, so you'll have to give me some margin for error:) Soon ice will form and then the games begin!!

(Looks like I'll need to educate myself on the pic loading process.  Looks like my fish pic is a bit too large....Not a bad thing for the angler:))
