... and then I taught them how to fish
















Once the dark of night swept the pond and all my work complete... I decided to head down to the pond and show Wookie and Hooper how to catch some fish. The following pictures will show you that I showed them EXACTLY how it is done. Yes, I know there are MANY pictures of this ONE fish... but I couldnt help it... it was HUGE... not so much in length, only 20 inches... the gerth of the fish was amazing. As you know I always feel like the fish just dont present well in pictures... always look so much smaller... but trust me this one is definately a first cousin of Old Man Sawdy, I like to call her Betty. No smoke and mirrors with these pictures... you know, no holding the fish closer to the camera... I tried to hold her near the reel to be able to compare the size...
As you can tell I was "slightly" excited... I know, i know... I take TERRIBLE pictures... I NEVER said i was photogenic... but i will say I know how to catch the lunkers... skill is way better than being able to strike a pose... ha ha ha . This was the ONLY fish I caught on my portion of the trip... but you know how it goes...a Master merely has to strike once to get her point across.
