Fishing at the Creek

This afternoon/evening Michael and I went fishing down to the creek. Michael wanted me to bring my fishing pole this time. Not sure why as I never really had a chance to catch anything.
Michael is getting to be rather a good fisherman, just like his Momma, lol. I took the Powershot instead of the Rebel, easier to handle. At least I thought it would be, I forgot how to use it, lol. I couldn't get the Super Macro to work on it, grr...Fred surprised us and came down after awhile too...So we had some quality family time...Michael outfished his father too, lol...

Michael with a (small) Large mouth Bass. You can tell by his face he was really excited about catching such a BIG fish. Remember in a childs eyes that fish is HUGE!! LOL...

This was another Large Mouth Bass he caught, a baby!


Okay the kid is working his way up in size! I got tired of baiting his hook every few minutes so I put a small plastic worm on a itty bitty worm harness. Seriously we didn't think he'd catch anything on it, well we were wrong!

The fish were biting and Fred and Michael were having a blast! It was getting dark and I was playing with the camera, actually getting photos of dragonflys. I told Fred to take Michael down to a deeper hole so that he could try to catch a really big fish! Now remember he is using an itty bitty plastic worm on an itty bitty harness with a kids fishing pole. We really didn't honestly think he'd catch anything bigger than what he had already caught...Once again we were WRONG!

Fred and Michael both start screaming and yelling for me to bring the camera!! I ran down there and was in shock and laughing!! Here is this fairly large catfish!

Michael is yelling and dancing he caught a HUGE fish!! He is also hiding behind Fred as he's already got hit in the head by a flopping fish and he didn't like it, lol...Michael has been fishing with me since he was 6 months old and I am so proud of him! He's really turning into quiet the fisherman! Doesn't matter what he fishes with he's proved he'll catch something!

Oh I also noticed somebody got a bit sunburned today! Hmmm wonder who that could be?
