Kiss A Fish



Yes, that is my 2 1/2 year old niece kissing the fish she caught when we went fishing. Ugh.

We've been doing LOTS of fishing lately. The kids, their cousins, their cousins cousins. Good thing all these kids get along. 7 kids, 8 adults.


And Jessie caught a BIG catfish. With Daddy's help - her lightweight pole just handled it.






The first night, all the kids caught 2-3 bluegill each (and the catfish). And it's been that way every time since.


Of course, they all want to catch catfish now.



Thank you for all the birthday wishes. It was a fun day, filled with yarn shopping, fishing and a cookout. I did catch 2 fish myself. But I didn't bait the hook or take the fish off. Between Jessie, Tyler and I - we kept Todd busy baiting our hooks and removing the fish. So much so, the guys left at 10:00 that night to go catfish fishing and were out until 1:30.

Glad to see you guys are having fun fishing. Our family loves fishing. One of our older boys caught a huge catfish once in the Red River. It was gross!!!

It's too hot here to fish at the river right now. Once it's this hot, the fish don't bite and aren't good to eat.

have a wonderful fun filled summer.

Buggerit, I missed your birthday! Hope you had a good one. I love fishing too. The first time I caught a carp, all these fishermen told me to put my thumb in its mouth to keep it still whilst having a photo taken. I thought they were winding me up..but they werent. I had my thumb sucked by a fish lol...moderately better than kissing one....ewwwwww

When I was growing up we fished all the time; Perch was the main fish we caught and ate. My mom always cooked the fish in a cast iron skillet over an open flame. Yummy, I miss fresh fish!

My husband and son love fishing. I used to love it too, but I must be old and tired now. I'd rather stay home, lol!

You didn't go fishing, you went CATCHING. My husband fished a lot but caught little.
