catch of the day!
Woo hoo! I went fishing yesterday and caught a ton of fish! OK, maybe not a ton but for my first true attempt at fishing I did a damn good job! Bob and I took the john boat out to do a bit of saltwater fishing. I've never much cared for fishing but over the last couple of weekends he has taken his dad and brother and they caught so many fish I said I'd give it a try myself.
So off we went and to my surprise there was little time to sit back and relax. I caught croakers and cat fish and not too shabby in size either. I couldn't believe how much fight a pounder sized fish had in it. I was exhausted and today upon waking I had some sore muscles in my arms. As you can see from the pic I'm a proud fisher mamma. After my arms rest up I'm sure I will want to go again. I have to confess something though... I'm a wimpy fisher woman, I don't bait my hook nor do I remove the fish. I just want to cast and real 'em in. Thankfully my dad-in-law wanted more fish cause I sure as H-E double toothpicks don't clean them suckers either!
I'm lucky to have a great hubby that by virtue of wanting my company will do the baiting and removing and even clean the fish. Gosh I love that man!
