Fishin' in the dark

Yesterday we decided to go fishing. I love Ferron Reservoir, so that's where we went. We went there earlier in the summer and caught a bunch of fish, so we thought we would try our luck again. We walked down to the water, Justin got Mason's line ready, I threw it in, and instantly he had a fish on it. He reeled it in as quick as his little arms would turn the reel! He was so proud! He even helped Justin hit it over the head, and thought it was awesome that its eye bugged out! When we would move to a new place he would pack the fish in one hand and his rootbeer in the other (rootbeer is his FAVORITE drink now-a-days). Easton has a hard time sitting still while fishing, and is constantly reeling in his line, and throwing it out. Justin finally told him, "You can NOT reel that in unless I tell you that you can." Not even 5 seconds later Eastons reeling in his line. Justin says, "What did I tell you?" Easton replies, "There is a fish on my line." He always says this and there never is. Justin tells him, " No Easton, you don't have a fish on your line, just leave it alone." Easton tells Justin, "Dad my line says there is a fish." Just then SPLASH! Yep, he had a fish! Easton had the "I told you so" look on his face :) I had a pretty good laugh! Easton reeled it on all the way to the shore and then it got off. There were many tears shed because of that...

So Mason had only caught that one fish, and then no more. We remembered that fishing got really good just as the sun went down the last time we were there. So we waiting, and sure enough as soon as the sun went behind the mountain we were catching fish like crazy! I even caught this HUGE one!

We had a good time fishing in the dark. Mason can't wait to eat the fish he caught, and Easton is now glad he didn't reel the fish in all the way because he doesn't have to eat any.:)
