Fishy Fishy

This weekend my parents were up at their camper and my sister and the boys came down, so we all hung out on beautiful Lake 26.  (Yes, I know it is a silly name for a lake, but it is different and I believe that everyone on the lake likes it.  Besides, there are so many Long lake, Bass lake, Clam lakes and I bet you probably won't find another Lake 26 out there.)

Most of the weekend, the weather was great, so we did a lot of fishing.  Well if you can call it fishing.  The five kids had their poles (1 Iron Man, 2 Cars and 2 Princess) and us adults were the worm attachers, the fish removers, the caster (except Adin - he did well casting) and the pole holders when the kids got tired.  Everyone caught a bunch of sunnies, a couple bass and a small perch.  Adin caught a nice bass that we saved and froze until we get more "keepers" for a meal.  He was pretty excited and even kind of put his thumb in it's mouth to hold it - for just a split second.  He also had to measure it with his little tape that he got from Grandma and Buppa.  It was a good 10 inches.

I even got to do some fishing and caught the biggest fish of all.  This fish wasn't paying attention and got a wee bit too close to the edge of the dock and got wet up to his arm pits.  I was pretty impressed as he did not get scared, kept his balance and didn't go under the water and didn't even drop his fishing pole.  Buppa (Grandpa) had to measure him to see if he was a "keeper".  Adin didn't seem to think that was very funny, but the rest of us did.  We had to pick on him a bit as he wanted to measure everything that was caught.  All in all it was a great weekend of fishing and we look forward to a lot more fishing this summer.
