Default Winter Fishing Gloves?

Need some advice on this one from those of you who have a good pair. Blink and I went to GSP Saturday morning, it was 17 when we got in the water. Besides ice all over everything in our kayaks, iced rod tips, frozen reels, etc. it actually wasn't that bad. I'm a lot tougher than I thought with that kind of weather. The issue though, was my hands.

I didn't mind they they were so cold it hurt but I did mind that after a few hours I began to not be able to use them. As funny as it sounds, it took me almost 20 minutes when I got to land to pee because unzipping and zipping up was almost impossible haha. I literally had zero strength in my hands to do anything. I have some gloves but they are bulky and still won't keep temps that cold away from my fingers.

Really bulky gloves would keep them nice and toasty and work great for hunting but are not very conducive to casting a fishing rod. Any advice here? Anyone use gloves that are nice and toasty but thin enough to fish with (including thumbing a baitcaster)?
