Fishing

I say it all the time... "Isaac loves to fish... too bad his dad is such a poor fisherman" He does, Isaac loves to fish and I suck at it. In June I finally bought a fishing and hunting license. Isaac was so happy. We got in a little fishing on the rivers by the house. We didn't even get a bite, but he was SOOOOO HAPPY. It sure is good for him to do some fishing. He is a very thankful, plesent boy when he has been fishing. On a Saturday morning in July I got him up early, early and we went to Kanawha State Forest to the pond to fish. Yes, he loved it.

This is the first very tiny fish that he pulled out. Kinda cute, Huh...

Then he got a little more serious. These little Perch seemed to like little bits of worm that morning.

Here is another one the pulled out. Look at the smile, he's having fun...!!!

He brought 3 home to show his mom. She was not impressed with him bringing them in the house, but she was happy to see that he was able to catch some fish. And she was glad to see him so happy.

Now, you may not be able to see it here but there is a beaver swiming in the pond. He is inline with the concrete spillway. It was fun to watch him swim down in the pond, climb up the bank, chew off a small branch, and drag it back up the pond.

The other thing the we saw was a big, big turtle. We didn't get a picture of him. He must have been 24" diameter, he came up for air twice that we saw him that morning.

Good times.
