Well, we finally made it out on the pond. Opening day was a no go for us... you see we only have a canoe so it doesnt take much to cancel our trips... but last night we got the chance. Mind you it was FREEZING out there... but we managed to stick it out for 45minutes which proved to be worth it... We caught four fish in that short of time. This my friends is why i love Sawdy so much.
Shug caught the first fish of the season. However, there is much debate about that one... you see it has always been the given rule, to my understanding, that in order for the fish to "count" it has to make it into the boat... and well, although he did get ther first bite, his fish did not make it in the boat... it fell off right at the side. But, since I know he was freezing out there and was keeping up the good spirits to keep me happy... I am giving him the title of First Fish Caught in 2007. This my friends is true love.
Shortly after, I managed to catch three fish in ten minutes. The first was a small perch... by small, I mean it was close to the same size as my lure. After that hilarous encounter I hooked a decent size small mouth and then a large mouth around the same size, immediately after ( this is the fish in the photo shown).
After the four lucky strikes, we had decided that we had enough fish to cure our jones an decided to head in. Today it is raining and we are both working tonight... so no fishing for today. Maybe this weekend. Thanks for reading. Fish On!
