For Father’s Day I was given 3 fishing rods… oddly enough, one of the rods was a Star Wars rod and one was a Princess rod. Thankfully I have a son who loves Star Wars and a daughter who is a princess. Today we finally went out to give the new gear a try (granted, Asher has been casting in the back yard for weeks).
Despite our best efforts we were unable to catch fish. Asher had a couple nibbles, but most likely some minnows grabbing the worm. Jennifer, on the other hand, managed to catch a baby duck… and yes, it was a bad as it sounds. The little guy snagged the worm as she was reeling it in. I rushed over and pulled it in to the dock. Thankfully we had some friends with us who could help. I held the duck as Eric, a seasoned fisherman, managed to get the hook out of its bill.
You can view a short sideshow of our pics here… and no, there aren’t any of the duck incident.
Beautiful scenery.
That looks like nice peaceful fun! Except for catching the ducks!
oh my gosh, i soooo wish I was there for that. ahhhhh I can’t stop laughing thinking about Jen’s reaction to the whole matter
