Fishing Weekend

On Saturday, Tony and I drove out to his mom's house in Dayton to join them on the boat for some fishing. We stayed out practically all day and caught next to nothing. I caught one small fish all day, Gene didn't catch any, and Tony caught a few small ones. Pretty disappointing as far as fishing days go. When we finally got tired of casting out and catching nothing, we headed back to the house for dinner. Sam made pork chops, while the rest of us hung out by the fire outside. We made smores, which pretty much made my day!

After the A&M game (whoop!) we decided to just stay the night so we could go out on the boat again the next morning and try our luck again. We caught SO many fish that second day! Literally every time you would cast, you would catch a fish within minutes. The best part though, was most of those fish were keepers! We ended up staying out for only a few hours, and bringing home 34 fish for the fish fry. I love days like that. :) We spent the afternoon around the house then headed back home after dinner.

What a fun weekend!

Fishing!

In the past month I have become quite the fisherman (or woman rather)! Over the summer I went out on the boat with Tony a few times but while everyone else fished I just got tan. A week after I got back in town we went out again, and that day everyone was catching these HUGE fish! It was so exciting I decided I wanted to give it a try.

So, that week Tony took me to academy and helped me pick out a fishing pole (it's black and pink and super cute btw). We've pretty much gone fishing every weekend since, either out on the boat, or to the pier.

The first time we went to the pier I caught this MASSIVE fish! It was WAY too bit for my little rod and had it fought at all it would have totally snapped my line right away. As it stood I got it reeled all the way in and there was this huge crowd of people watching. All these men were trying to help get nets down there to bring it up (it was too big to get up otherwise) but unfortunately at the last second it broke the line and got away. I'm so sad we didn't even take a picture of it in the water :( Let me see if I can explain how big it was ... put your arms out strait in front of you then link your hands so it makes a circle. It was about that big!!

Catching a fish just never gets old for me. It doesn't matter what it is or what size I get excited every time as you can see from my pictures haha

This past weekend we went on the boat on Saturday and then to the pier on Sunday. On the pier there was a 4 year old boy fishing next to us who was just too darn cute. He wanted to help us throw all our fish back and got so excited when he saw us catch something. At one point he was helping me hold the fish while I got the hook out and in all seriousness he said to me "I'm going to sing twinkle twinkle to it and it will calm down" and then this sweet little boy sang to my fish. How precious! He totally loved Tony too! After Tony caught a good sized sand trout our fishing buddy Nick requested to be in the pictures too. He was too darn cute giggling up a storm as the fish flopped around and Tony helped him hold it.

I love my new hobby!! :) Can't wait to go again this weekend!
