Fishing

Well as some of you know we have been getting into fishing in this household. 3 out of 4 of us have our own fishing rods. (And I will be having one soon) It all started with N getting a pole for his birthday from my parents. :-) Anyways, once M did it on our camping trip he was hooked. We do catch and release. Well so far non of us had really caught one yet. That changed this week. Wednesday evening we went to park (right next to our subdivision) and went fishing. N had his pole ready to go first so he casts in and I look over after sitting down and his bobber is gone! So I holler for him he has one and to pull on it and start reeling. I go running over and he had forgotten to "lock" his reel so here I was trying to pull on it and it kept going. :-) Anyways, the fish got away with the bait. :-( So then the rest of the time it was fun. We got alot of bites, N got his line stuck in a tree twice, E finally was convinced to use some bait/hook instead of using a weight, M caught 3 (only one got to shore on his line and one had the pole bent a ton but got away...would have been interesting to see what size it was), and S caught one after it had teased her in the same spot over and over. :-)

M's fish is the one "hanging" on the line. S's is the one in the water being ready to be released.
