Gone fishin'

Woke up today feeling a little worse for wear after last night's Margaritas. Cousin Michael picked me up early to go fishing on the lake at Bent Tree. We met up with his friend Gerry who has a pontoon boat and spent the morning trawling for trout. To be fair, it wasn't my best best day. I managed to lose a big one that was right up alongside the boat and screw up the reel that was lent to me, twice! I managed to catch a very small bass that I threw back. Michael brought in 3 beautiful trout but when Gerry's batteries started dying, it was time to call it a day. I was disappointed but Michael was determined. So, we went back to his house, picked up his John boat (which I learned I should never stand up in), some new lures and went back out on the lake. We trawled for a while and tried casting in some of his favourite spots to no avail. It was time to go in. I was very disappointed that I couldn't contribute to dinner but as we were returning, I managed to catch this:

I've never been so excited! Cousin Lynn cooked them up on the grill and we had a great feast!
