Dad took Halle fishing yesterday and unlike the last trip, they really caught alot of fish. Halle was so excited. Dad said that she really caught several fish all by herself. When Jeffrey, Sydney, and I got to the boat ramp to pick her up, she started telling me that she caught the biggest fish of all. I said, "really?" She said, "yeah, I caught Pa!" LOL She had hooked him behind his ear. He said that she barely got him. I asked how in the world she could hook him if she was in the back on the boat and he was in the front of the boat. Dad said that she had to be in the front with him because she didn't like being in the back by herself. I think it is because she is smart and she knows that the person in the front always catches more fish! :)
While Pa and Halle were going down the lake Halle's cap blew off. They turned around to get it and Halle dipped netted it. When they started back to their location, Halle held on tight to Pa. She said that she didn't want to be blown out too! :)
They didn't keep all the fish they caught because some were too small. When Halle would throw one back, everytime she would say, "Now you go find your momma and make her take you to the dentist because you've had a hook in your mouth!" Then she would say, "I hope we don't have your momma in our live well!"
Jeffrey asked what bait they used to catch all the fish. Halle announced really loud that they caught them all on this bait right here and held it up for all the other fishermen to see. Jeffrey started laughing and told her not to tell those kinds of secrets to anyone but him!
They fished from 3 until 8 so Halle did get a little tired. She told me that Pa woke her up yelling to get the dip net. They caught the fish but unfortunately it was one that could not be weighed for the tourney.
Syd enjoyed LOOKING at the fish. Halle tried to get her to hold one but she never did. She finally touched one. One of the fishermen walked up and asked what Pa and Halle caught, meaning how much they caught. Syd yelled at him, "FISH." We all thought that was funny. Kids take things so literal.
Halle was glad she went fishing even if they didn't win any money. I told Pa that pretty soon he would have 4 little girls to take fishing! :)
