It was THIS BIG!







A few weeks ago, we took the kids fishing to this free fishing day at a local plant nursery. They do this every year, I guess, and stock their pond with trout. We get there and there are tons of people there, all along the lake. We picked a spot and started fishing. All of a sudden, these people beside had caught a fish, then another, and another, and the people to our other side had caught one, and another! We still didn't have even a nibble. We have taken our kids fishing about 5 or 6 times in the last couple of years and haven't ever caught a thing! Today was going to be a new day! The people beside us started to feel sorry for us because we told them we had never caught a fish before and they were reeling them in left and right! One of the ladies got a fish on her line and let Ethan reel it in! It was so nice of her! It was just a sucker fish, though, so we threw it back. Those people left and decided to leave us with the bait they were using. We tried their bait and low and behold, the fish started biting! It was so exciting! Finally we had caught a fish!
We fried them up on the BBQ the next day! Yummy!
