A Beautiful Weekend for Fishing

Another cub scouts event to blog about, the annual fishing derby. What that actually means, I still haven't figured out, but I do know that the boys had a lot of fun fishing at the local farm lake which was stocked with lots to catch.



My hubby calls this "fishing in a barrel". Luckily for my son the fish were hungry and he caught a total of 8 fish in 2 hours.

The big catch of the day. 14.5"



I don't wanna fish, just sit here and look pretty.



Mom: "Hey look at me for a sec, I wanna see your shades"
Z: "Who me??"

Our family total was 21 fish. I even caught one when I got handed a rod to hold while the men were busy untangling a line. I have no idea who 'won' the derby but we at least had a beautiful day to hang out by the lake.
