A BIG Catch!

Lee, his mom and his dad went out fishing and pulled in a big catch! They had a great day and even a small injury! No fishing trip is complete without an injury - you know. I am told that the injury happened before the beer was opened but who knows if that is true. Lee got his line stuck on the train tracks near Hwy. 11 and when he yanked on it it came flying back and struck him in the gut. He was really thankful it didn't come flying back a little lower than his gut.

There is something manly and caveman-ish about fishing. Empty coolers full of ice in anticipation of the catch, smelly bait to lure the catch, waiting for it and then wrestling to reel in your catch with pride about bringing home the bacon to provide for the young'ings (whether or not they like to eat fish). It is real drama! Did they bring a camera this time - when the catch was the biggest ever? NO - What were you thinking Lee ... I have to have a new blog page! Ha ha ha (The photo's are from the camera phone).

Lee cooked the fish on the BBQ. It was delicious!

Lee doesn't get to go fishing all that much with his dad. Just a trip every couple of months. I look forward to the day when Cooper enjoys fishing with Lee as much as Lee enjoys fishing with his dad. (I will instill in Cooper the importance of remembering to tote a camera for mom's blog page though)
