Fishing for Catfish

A few weeks ago we decided to take the kids fishing but wanted to go somewhere we'd actually catch some fish...we've taken the kids down to the park a few times but never had any luck there. After a little surfing on the internet I found a catfish fishing place in Canyon Lake, so we all hopped in the truck and headed out there.

And, we definitely caught some fish! There is no catch and release there, so if you catch it, it's yours and you're paying for it, by the pound! It was an expensive little outing but the kids had fun catching their fish, and I think Daddy and Mommy had fun too! There is a certain amount of excitement whent he reel tips down and you know you have one on the hook...reminded me a lot of the multiple fishing trips Victor and I made down to the coast pre-kids! Maybe one day we'll have a boat again and the whole family will make those weekend fishing trips, especially since Parker really seemed to enjoy the whole fishing experience!

Tristan waiting to catch his first fish

Still waiting

Tired of waiting so he posed for me

Taking a snack break

Showing that he's #1

Oh wait a minute, I think he thinks he's #1

Trying to cast it himself

Turning the reel

Reeling in a big one

And Tristan too
