Catchin’ Fish Like Their Goin’ Out of Style
There is something about getting out on the water and catchin’ fish. Unfortunately, up until this night, I had not caught a fish (really the story of my life every summer for the past 2ish years).
We headed to Elkorn Lake with the Bloms who also enjoy fishing, and had some great catches! I do not think I have been in a boat that has caught that many fish in one night. Granted some of the bass were nothing to call home about, but I loved catching every single one of the fish I did. Dan and I both said it is hard to explain the excitement we feel when a fish tugs at your line. Nothing like it!
Steve’s first catch…not bad!
There are many, many things I appreciate about Dan – one of them being his willingness to tie my bait on. We use fake bait, so it’s not that I won’t touch it – it’s the fact that he ties such good knots that if I were to tie it, I am afraid I would lose my bait as I was casting. He is always so willing to tie on a new lure for me!
Dan’s first catch…”the big one” was yet to come
The double whammy! Jill and Dan both catching one at the same time
My first catch of the YEAR! I was PUMPED!
Next one was a little bigger
The moment I saw this cabin, I loved it – old wood, looks quite rustic – totally up my alley!
Couldn’t have asked for a better night out on the lake!
Dan’s massive catch! 3 lb., 19 1/2 inch largemouth bass. That fish sure had some meat to ’em! We don’t really like bass all that much so we didn’t keep any of them, but as Dan says, we can still practice CPR – catch, photo, release.
That fish sure was a biggin’!
We had so much fun getting out on the water again! While driving there, it was raining, but once we got to the lake, it cleared up and was a beautiful night for fishing!
