I don't remember volunteering for this I will agree, but the passenger gets to tighten down the oar-rights I'm afraid of who all will post to this because I'm sure some of "you" will lose on purpose...right Osprey? :p

Great tip for especially cold mornings:

Apply Rain-X to your spool of line before fishing. Rub it in good onto the spool. It works better than WD-40 and it will definitely keep your line from freezing up, spool, rod, and line guides.
