Anyone @ Frostbite Tournament Headquaters Missing A Heater? Call Virginia Beach Contender:





That's Cold!!!

That second picture is the exact reason I am keeping my fat a$$ inside this weekend. I hate painting but I hate cold even more. Good luck to you guys that are fishing.

Frostbite at its finest!!!!

Picture Update:

that is awesome!

Yeah. And Damn cold too. My Dad told me a story once of when he was out when it was this cold. He said it was the only time he has ever seen foul weather gear shatter.

Virginia Beach Contender 1st Fish!!!



Probably the First Fish for the Tournament! Looks to be Somewhere over 30lbs.......If it was me out there today, I would have that fish mounted!!!

Thats an awsome Catch. I see they are trying to keep the fish from freezing.

Looks like Max ended up with the one fish with 34.7lbs. Backlash had 3 fish with a total somewhere around 42lbs.

That's a Cold Hard Day!!!!

Nice fish!

You all want ice I had ice. That ice on that Contender was nothing compared to the crap we had.

Had to put reels in the shower tonight to get rid of the ice. Now I know what the Bering Sea is like in the winter. Congrats to Max and the boys though it was some tough conditions out there today.

Don we beat you down for this weather because we blame you.

If you are headed out tomorrow take your rubber mallets and an ice scrapper you will need it.

Now where did I put that ice pick.......I need a shot of tequilla......

Thanks for the info!
We're heading out tomorrow (not in the tourney) - did you have any issues with eyelets freezing up when reeling in lines?
How about bilge pump and other boat related mechanics in the severe cold?
The wind isn't going to be so bad tomorrow so the freezing mist shouldn't be an issue, right?!?

Sorry....Iwas wrong....Here is the update:

Backlash had three fish weighing 108 lbs. Largest Fish is 42.5 lbs. That is also the lady angler fish.

Good Greif is second with 98 lbs.

I hear that approx 4-5 boats fished today.

Congrats to all fishing today.... That's hard fishing there.

WOW Mark....That is some impressive Ice!!! I have to say that this the first time I am glad I had to stay at the office. It was 72 degree here today.

I am not in the Tourney but was heading out in the morning for some trolling. That was untill I looked at

Studs fishing today now! Team Cool Change didn't get into the Frostbite but are planing on it next year. We got to get back to Kipto one more time though and with the water going from 42 yesterday to 40 today we might as well pull the plug and come on down and at least fish Sunday maybe Monday.

Should I fish the outside in the eez with eels instead? Good luck to all.

We fished in the Frostbite tourney yesterday. All we caught was a cold. In a 21 ft. boat we could not fish where we wanted to. It was a little too sporty for us to go North. We had to stay ocean front. I have never had ice build up on my rods and reels before. My face is freezer burned. GIL

Way to go on the hard core fishing and landing respectable fish!!! But how to you prepair for a 2nd day when you come home covered in ice knowing the temps. aren't going to get any better. Good luck to those going.
