First Fishing Trip

This past weekend we took Halle fishing. We take fishing pretty seriously around here often referring to the effects of barometric pressure, water levels, bait presentation-you get the idea. In keeping with the seriousness, we, probably the only parents in history to do this, gave our two year old her own full size fishing rod and reel, a jig (barbless) and power bait. Yup, she had a hook. She caught a 5 inch sauger. It was a proud moment that was of course not caught on film.

We do have the earlier events documented though I suppose nothing compares to your first fish...
