Gone Fishin'

This last weekend was awesome. On a whim Gene decided we should go fishing. So after Ethan woke up on Saturday morning we were off to Jordanelle Reservoir. I'd gone fishing with Gene many times before, but I didn't have a fishing license so I couldn't actually catch fish. I got my license in January so this time I actually got to cast out. Gene taught me how to tie my own line too. I even baited my own hook! Pretty skilled chick! Gene caught the biggest fish of the day. It was about 17 inches long and about 3 pounds. The rest of the fish caught that day were small. I caught 2 and Gene caught three or four. Since Ethan was on this trip, we had to take some extra precautions. Like sunscreen for example. I'm super paranoid about having a burned baby. I kept reapplying it to his delicate skin. Of course, I forgot to bring a hat for him. So, he got a little burned on his scalp. Thankfully it doesn't seem to bother him.

I think we will probably go fishing more often now. Since I get to cast out too I don't get as bored so fast. We want to go up at least twice a month. I guess I better find more recipes on how to cook fish!
