We took the girls fishing while visiting the lake this weekend. Bryan and Dave spent most of the weekend in the boat, and as such, caught quite a few fish, some of which were large enough to keep for the fish fry we had on Monday.


To make things a bit more exciting for Ava, Dave secretly baited her hook with a small catfish he had caught earlier in the day. When he alerted her to her bouncing pole, she excitedly reeled in her catch.

Everyone was pretty excited about this…

But we were downright shocked when Ava had two more actual bites on her little pole!




Olivia eventually lost interest…

And she missed her dad’s big catch.

Ava seems uncertain about how she feels about her bounty!

Looks like it was a fun holiday weekend!

[…] bet you thought Bryan used a bigger rig to catch that catfish. You have to go with what works, […]
