Well believe it or not, one of my birthday wishes was to take the family over to fish the community pond today. Since the temps hit the 70 degree mark, there was a good chance we would be successful. Actually I wanted Amanda to catch the biggest bass she had ever caught. I didn't really even fish too much, not with Nina and Lyla along for the ride. I set Amanda up with a spinning reel and a dropshot rig. I gave her a pointer or two and then suggested she cast across the pond. On her second cast she pulled in this 5+ pounder. Her comment when she first got hooked up was, "Well I don't think I'm snagged". Next thing you know I see this big bass trying to shake her off. I have to say Amanda looked like quite the pro and landed the fish with ease. I hope you like this proud display of her new personal best, even though this picture is posted against her will.
Congratulations Mand :) And Happy Birthday Mark! We hope you post more often, Mark! :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda, do you feel like one of the girls? Mark sets up your line, tells you where to fish, and proudly watches you reel it in! Guess sometimes you have to go with a pro! One for the team Simpsons!!!!! mouse
ReplyDeleteWow, that Mark is easy to please... I can't imagine Garland's birthday wish would be to get me out on the golf course to hit the shot of my life. :) Mand, you look good with a fish accessory, you should try it on more often. I love it! shen
