First Fish

Andrew caught his very first fish yesterday! He was so excited that he could hardly wait to get home to show it to me. (He went with Eric for a daddy/son bonding time) Apparently, Eric got Andrews line ready and they cast it into the water and before Eric had a chance to even get his line in the water Andrew had a fish on! They have been doing a lot of fishing lately but this is the first catching that they have had a chance to do. Let me tell you, Eric is quite peeved that his boy is the first on to get a fish. (Eric is just a little bit competitive) They went to Lake Tigh in Monroe (I hope that I spelt that right) and fished in a netted off portion. Eric was super irritated that he didn't catch anything until he realized the netted part wasn't stocked yet. Andrew probally caught the only fish in the whole area! The fish was about 12 inches long. We plan to eat it tonight. At least that is the plan. Knowing Andrew he will take one look at it cooked and decide that he dowsn't want to eat it! It was all good until Eric started to clean the fish. The thought makes me want to throw up a little. Fish murder was commited in my very own back yard. Most distressing! Fortunately it did not seem to bother Andrew at all. Fish murder or not, he still thinks fishing is fun! We plan to go on Sunday to a kids fishing day back at lake Tigh. They are going to super stock a netted off portion so that the kids are almost guarenteed a catch. Who knows, maybe Zane will even catch his first fish this weekend too!
