We've been fishing a lot this summer. But to date, Justin had only caught 2 fish. And I have never caught a fish in my life. But I have been a trooper this year. Justin bought us both fishing license and he got me a cute pink/black fishing pole. And I (try) to sit there so patiently. Which is NOT my strong point. So today, we get to the lake, eat some lunch, sip some hot chocolate (it was freezing) and cast our first line. We had only been fishing for about 20 minutes when I start to feel something tugging on my line. I wasn't sure what was happening. I think I was in shock. I looked up at Justin and shouted "Umm...I think I might have a fish". Sure enough...I did. I reeled it in. It was more of a struggle than I thought it would be. At the end of my line...was a cute little rainbow trout. I didn't know what to do with it. I made Justin come over and help me. He told me that in order to be a true fisherman/fisherwoman, I had to kiss my first fish. SO...I puckered up and gave that slimey sucker a kiss. GROSS!!! Justin then helped the poor guy get off my hook. (we only do catch/release fishing, beings neither of us eat fish) Justin then put him back in the water, gave him a little nudge, and he was off. It was exciting. I never thought I would enjoy fishing, but I do. I enjoy sitting there and looking at the scenery. I also enjoy talking to Justin while we fish. I know it annoys him (he'd rather fish alone). But he's a good sport and talks to me too.
Justin caught 4 fish today!! My father in law caught 2 fish (I didn't catch his on camera.) And Nathan caught one. We would have probably caught more...but it started SNOWING on us. We packed up and came home. It was an enjoyable day in the Mountains.
