A Fish Story |

Recently, and I’m so sorry for not remembering the actual date, Terry took Lauren and Mitchell fishing. They all three had their poles, their bait, and their spot on the bank of Lake Huckabee. Lauren and Terry stared silently at their bobbers, waiting the slightest hint of movement so they could quickly reel in the “big one”. Mitchell fidgeted, looked around, talked, wiggled, and fidgeted some more. I really don’t think he cared at all about catching a fish! But…you guessed it. He was the only one to catch one! A BIG one! And this is no fish story…I mean, it’s not a lie! 🙂

Here are the photos to prove it!

Mitch proudly displays the catfish he caught. We didn’t weigh it, but it was a good size for a six year old boy to reel in alone. Terry didn’t help him at all. He and Lauren just cheered him on! He’s really growing up…sniff…sniff.

The whole fishing gang with Mr. Catfish – well, Laci wasn’t there, but she ended up in this photo!

Lauren got a ruler to measure the fish. It was close to 18″, give or take an inch! The kids were really excited!

Mitchell’s catch brought ooo’s and aahh’s from everyone, even the little girls! (I wonder what Laci’s thinking?)

Mr. Catfish got fried. Terry usually releases the fish, but since this was the kids’ first catch of their very own (Mitch shared the victory with Lauren), he let them keep it. There was just enough for two miniature fishermen!
