I love fishing for Northern Pike and also bass. I have traveled well over 100 times to Northern Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota for fishing and snowmobile trips. Way back in the day the beer "Old Style" advertised in my area on TV that it was "Made in Wisconsin ... God's country". Every time I get half way up through Wisconsin the beauty of that area always reminds me of that commercial. Though our God and Lord is everywhere I still find myself even closer to my Lord Jesus Christ whenever I get up there. The Northwoods is as grand in the winter back in the woods on a snowmobile as it is when I am on a lake fishing there. It is certainly a place where I can leave any stress or anxiety at home. Once I get just north of Wausau I can feel the stress drain from my mind and body and can relax ... "in God's Country". If your life needs relief ... maybe you should try to go there, if you can. Wish you all the best in poker today. CatchPike
