Fish on!
What a day! Super grumpy from work, so I went fishing with my Dad to “Oscar’s Secret Fishing Spot”. I’ve never caught so many different kinds of kivers in my life! The biggest we caught was probably 9 inches, and they were all fighters. After my hero Jeremy Wade, any time I hook a fish I yell FISH ON! (even if they’re little baby fish)
Fighters and worm thieves! We went in with 30 worms, and had none when we left. We must’ve fished for two hours.
I’d just like to take the time to say whoever told me, as a child, that worms pooped dirt lied. Worms poop poop.
Not only that, but we saw a great blue heron take flight! It was the biggest bird I’ve ever seen in person, so big that you could hear its wings flap through the air. Its beak was enormous!
We got to watch the water turn all sorts of colors in the sunset. On the way home we saw a lady-doe-deer.
Afterwards, my Dad took me past a hotel where Abraham Lincoln stayed! Can you imagine?!
A really cool evening, and I am so lucky to get to spend so much time with my Dad.
I know I look like the biggest dork, but these are the kinds of fish I’ve caught so far this year. I have caught multiples of each.
- Large Mouth Bass
- Kiver/Sunfish
- Perch
I know, I know, I’ve got a bobber on my pole. Soon I will move beyond that. I’ve gotta tell you though, my casting has improved tenfold! I even put the worms on the hook by myself, AND get the fish off the hook by myself. Yes, I still get startled and jump whenever the fish flops, but it’s a step up. haha
Add to my bucket list:
Catch a salmon
