Fishin

Ever since I was just a tiny thing my dad and I have always gone fishing

Us fishing over 20 years ago

All these old pictures of us reminds me of that new Trace Adkins song Just Fishin

This Saturday we went out fishing on the Bear River

This was the first time ever I'd been on a boat on the Bear.

Ive always just fished from the banks

We had to launch from the slough in Corinne

The other boat ramp was still under water

After you come into the slough and head up river there is the Old Corinne bridge you have to go under

The water was SO high we had to lay flat on our backs to go under and had about a foot of clearance.

You cant tell we were having any fun!

We had just gotten to the spot where we were going to fish at.

I was rigging up my pole

My dad just cast his line into the water and grabbed a drink

SLAM

The fish took the bait.

It was "here hold my drink!!"

"No wait. Hold my pole and give me my drink!"

So he let me reel it in.

Not bad for the first fish of the year

This ended up being the SMALLEST fish we kept

We kept getting bites and nibbles like crazy

These little guys were teasing us.

We had 3 this size we threw back

Then dad landed this great Catfish!!

My first fish on my new fishing pole I got for my b day

I threw him back but now my pole has caught one!

We ended up with 4 keepers

It was too dark to get any more pictures.

We headed in right as a rain storm was coming in and made it off the water just in time!
