As you all know, Gwen loves to go fishing!!
I am usually the one sitting on the bank on a warm day watching Rick and Casey pulling in the "Big One". Bass, Perch, Bowfin, and Pikes. I am the one catching things like baby perch, lil' bowfin, sticks, rocks, minnows (yes I have caught a minnow on a worm and hook....don't laugh...I did enough of that for all of us) a 3 inch large mouth bass....the mouth was actually bigger than the body...I brought that one home and put it in my fish tank...it lasted about uhm.......(thinking.....) maybe 2 weeks. The other fish lasted about uhm.....(thinking again.......) about 2 days LOL. Ok so that all leads to this picture....I was sitting there...getting nibble after nibble....FINALLY....it took my hook...and it was HEAVY....Gwen finally caught a big one.......YEAH!!!!......as I reeled this huge fish in....it wasn't swimming back and forth in the water as all fish usually do....but it was very heavy and my pole was bending...I kept thinking ok guys....wait til' you check this out.....about 4 feet of shore im inticipating seeing the "keeper"......and this is what I saw....
A BABY snapper....are you kidding me????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL The best of all that is this....it STILL doesn't beat out what CASEY caught at GENEVA SWAMP........
A 32# SNAPPER!!!!UGHHHHHHH....I refuse to give up though....because someday....someday....I will bring home a dinner for 6......even if it takes a bucket full of sunfish to feed us all. ;o)

Hahahhaahha! Thank you for my chuckle of the day! You keep trying you will beat them yet!
This is too funny! Great post! Did you make turtle soup? your Grandpa did :-)
LOLOLOL This reminds me of when I was fishing in Pudget Sound with George's family and I caught a rock with a barnacle on it! It got tangled in my son-in-law's fishing line, and he had a small shark on his, so we thought I had something really big too! That rock made a great doorstop for many years till it finally broke in half! Don't you just love fish stories almost as much as fishing itself? I gave up after my incident!
