Today my adorable husband went fishing with me and my Dad at Lake Loretta which is right behind my sister Angel's house. It was a VERY windy day but that didn't stop us from trying to catch something. We were in a very small channel that comes off of the lake and it was very narrow. Well on Sean's 5Th cast or so he started to scream " I think that I have something!" I ran to the pick up for the net and dad came from around the other side to help him out. Sure enough there was a northern on the other end of his hook! We were all very excited for Sean to actually catch something. We have been "fishing" lots of times together, but have never had any luck. Below is a pic of Sean and his prize fish. We thought it was about 20 inches long and maybe 3-4 lbs. Grandma and Grandpa got to eat it for lunch the next day and they even sent home a piece for Sean to taste. He thought it was pretty good despite the bones!
Here we are back at Angel's house and her dog Buddy is checking it out! He really wanted to sniff it a lot and probably would have started to chew if we had given him the chance!
After we got back to the farm, Dad taught Sean how to clean the fish and get 2 really nice fillets. He did a very good job for his first time ever and I was very impressed at his knife skills. Grandpa said that the reason he did such a great job was because of his perfectly sharpened fillet knife ;)
There was a small pond out in the field from all of the melted snow. There were 2 Canadian geese swimming in the water but you can't really see them on these pics.
